GitHub

Pricing:
- Open Source
GitHub gives you the ability to showcase all of your work to the world and future employers. Make all of your work open source. Many employers will review your GitHub to see your activity and your code. You will learn how to use Git as you take your course, but getting this profile setup as early as possible is a good idea in my opinion.

Atom

At GitHub, we’re building the text editor we’ve always wanted: hackable to the core, but approachable on the first day without ever touching a config file. We can’t wait to see what you build with it.

In your course you will likely have an embedded text editor to get you started. As soon as you can, start working on setting up your local dev environment. This means being familiar with the command line and installing a text editor (I recommend Atom).

Am I a Real Developer

Ever wonder if you're a 'real' developer

P.S. If you want to find out if you are a real developer after you learn how to code, you can take this quiz. 😋.
