Introduction

Having the appropriate tools at your disposal can make the difference between creating a mediocre website and a masterpiece in the dynamic field of web creation. Possessing a strong toolbox is crucial for efficiency, productivity, and producing amazing digital experiences, regardless of expertise level in development. In this article, we'll go into the fundamental tools that every web developer needs to know, which include debugging tools and code editors.

Web development: What is it?

The process of creating and managing websites and web applications is included in web development. Coding, designing, testing, and user experience and performance optimization are just a few of the many tasks involved. Web developers use a variety of tools, frameworks, and computer languages to make their work interactive on the Internet.

Advantages of Using Web Development Tools:

Using web development tools speeds up, improves efficiency, and reduces the error-proneness of the development process. These tools frequently include debugging capabilities, syntax highlighting, and code auto-completion, which help engineers write cleaner code and find and fix problems more quickly. Furthermore, a lot of web development tools have connections with collaboration platforms and version control systems, which makes teamwork and project management easier.

The Top 15 Tools for Web Development:

Visual Studio Code (VS Code)

a code editor that is both lightweight and highly capable. It comes with built-in Git integration, debugging tools, and a large library of extensions to expand its usefulness. It is compatible with a broad variety of programming languages. 

Sublime Text

Known for its simplicity and speed, Sublime Text is an advanced text editor. It is a favourite among developers because it provides a distraction-free writing environment, robust search and replace features, and customisable key bindings. 

GitHub

​GitHub is an online platform that uses Git for version management. Web developers working on team projects will find it to be a useful resource since it offers capabilities for collaboration, code review, and project management. 

Chrome Developer Tools

Included with the Google Chrome browser are several web development and debugging tools. It enables developers to troubleshoot JavaScript code, examine and modify HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in real time, and assess page performance.

Bootstrap

A well-liked front-end framework for creating mobile-first and responsive websites is called Bootstrap. It offers a collection of JavaScript and CSS elements, like buttons, grids, and navigation bars, to help with design efficiency and device uniformity.

​jQuery

jQuery is a feature-rich, feature-rich, and speedy JavaScript library that makes client-side scripting chores easier. It provides a large array of tools for event handling, animation, and DOM manipulation, which facilitates the creation of dynamic and interactive web pages.

React.js

Facebook developed React.js, a JavaScript library for creating user interfaces. It is perfect for developing intricate web applications with dynamic user experiences because it enables developers to design reusable user interface components and manage states quickly. 

Angular

​Google created this front-end framework, which is based on TypeScript. With capabilities like data binding, dependency injection, and out-of-the-box routing, it offers a complete solution for creating single-page apps. 

Sass

Sass is a preprocessor scripting language that adds nested rules, variables and mixes to the CSS framework. It gives developers strong tools for managing stylesheets and structuring code, and it also makes writing CSS code easier and more maintainable.

Postman

​Postman is an API development, testing, and documentation collaboration tool. By enabling developers to create, test, and automate API calls, they may simplify the use of APIs and guarantee their dependability and efficiency.

Adobe Photoshop

Web developers commonly use Adobe Photoshop, a visual design program, to generate and edit images, graphics, and user interface elements. It lets developers create visually appealing webpages and web apps with its rich toolbox for image editing, retouching, and composing.

Firebase

Google built Firebase, a comprehensive platform for developing mobile and online applications. It makes it simple to create and deploy web apps without having to worry about managing infrastructure by offering a number of features like real-time databases, hosting, authentication, and analytics.

npm (Node Package Manager)

The package manager for JavaScript that is used to install, share, and manage dependencies for web development projects is called npm (Node Package Manager). With more than a million reusable code packages hosted on it, developers can take advantage of pre-existing solutions and expedite their work.

ESLint

JavaScript code patterns can be detected and reported on using ESLint, a static code analysis tool. Cleaner and more dependable code is produced as a result of its ability to help developers enforce coding standards, detect grammatical problems, and find possible bugs early in the development process.

Gulp

Designed to automate repetitive operations in the web development workflow, Gulp is a task runner built on Node.js. It saves time and effort in the development process by enabling developers to specify and execute specific actions, such as optimizing pictures, minifying JavaScript, and converting Sass to CSS.

In summary

Having the appropriate tools is crucial in the rapidly evolving field of web development. The tools listed in this article can help you improve the quality of your websites and online applications, produce cleaner code, and optimise your workflow, whether you're designing, testing, debugging, or coding.

Why A Website Is Important For A Small Business

[wojenka]

i need more mutuals who are into coding and engineering!! more info under the cut!!

I planned to become an electrical engineer like my stepdad but then I decided to change my path to programming. I'm currently studying at technikum (<- wikipedia link so I don't have to explain the whole polish learning system), programmer major.

this year I have exams from web development (10th Jan - theory, 16th Jan - practical exams) and next year I have exams from App development (both mobile and desktop).

I know C family languages, Java, Python and those ones I am currently using. I also know a bit of Kotlin and I think I will continue learning it.

For web dev I know HTML and CSS ofc but also PHP and JS.

Planning on learning more languages I can use for App and operating system development as well as just to know them cause I want to after this year's exams!

my learning list:

Lua (I heard it's easy but I can't really get myself to read anything about this atm idk why)

Ruby

Assembly

Rust

As for electrical engineering I don't know much tbh but I would like to learn! I just used CAD programs for technical drawings (dad taught me some basic things when I was still thinking about going his path) helped my dad fix things on his Solar farm, houses of our neighbors and I made a few very simple circuits for fun a few years ago. Now I'm mostly focused on programming but since I learned most of the things I need for exams I have more time to do whatever I want now!

I'd like to get to know more people so I can share and mostly learn new things since even though I'm coding for years I consider myself a beginner and I am a total beginner when it comes to electrical engineering.

I'm willing to be friends or at least mutuals with anyone who codes or makes websites or is in STEM! no matter what your specialty/interest is exactly and no matter if you are a total beginner or a professional ^__^

I'd also like to have some mutuals who are into old web development and retro computing!!!!!!!!

edit: I forgot but I'm also interested in physics and quantum physics

The Quiz App: Final.

Hello everyone, If you follow me or happen to have seen the post I made on the 21st of August (this post precisely) I casually made a request because I was tired of coding alone(still am 😆) and people showed interest starting with @xiacodes. Immediately- We talked about what we wanted to do causally and it ended up being "The Quiz App", We had a few calls on the Codeblr Discord to decide what we wanted to do and where we would stop, with @lazar-codes joining us later on to contribute. We digressed a bit and talked about other things lol but you get it.

Active Contributors

@xiacodes did 99% of the styling (she really loves styling) and it turned it great.

@lazar-codes suggested Trello(a task-management system) which we use to organize tasks and check progress.

I did the documentation, helped with the quiz-app logic, and theme mode and I was generally just all over the place offering help here and there, also being a sponge absorbing all the new pieces of information. 🤩🤩 Today, I merged the testing branch with the master branch, bringing an end to an experience that I want to cherish forever.

(I clearly suck at Geography lol) ⚠⚠⚠ I also want to take this opportunity to encourage Web Developers + programmers to contribute to open-source projects: It's one of the best ways to learn from other people, share ideas and put your Git knowledge into practice. Check out The Quiz App here The Quiz App (mmnldm.github.io) Special Shout-Out to @a-fox-studies Your presence is always appreciated!

Meanwhile on WordPress...

On another note, Matt Mullenweg is a greedy ass motherfucker who is putting nearly 43% of the Internet at risk.

[sidewalk-scrawls]

Working on putting together a music server application for my personal use (basically, you have your music storage on a local server, and you can access it via a music application from any device on your network, essentially -- Plex if it didn't suck ass for music), and I'm pretty heavily considering whether this might be a good fit for kickstarter...

Pins for programmers, geeks, and compsci nerds

You Had Me At Hello World

"Hello World" is a really old tradition, by tech standards--the Jargon File dates it back to the classic C/Unix days. It's the first test message you print to standard output when you're learning a new programming language.

These days, you might also throw a "Hello World" in a <p> element real quick when you're checking whether your new website's DNS has propagated or your WordPress install is displaying posts cleanly. Maybe it's even what you write in a sample doc when you want to make sure your printer's hooked up right. Basically, it's the minimalist Lorem Ipsum of the programmer world.

And now it's a pin. For fashion. Geeky, geeky fashion.

Progress Incremented

The ++ symbol (aka the incrementor) is often used to express approval or "good job!" in coding circles. Get this pin to celebrate your progress.

Magic / More Magic

The Magic / More Magic Switch is a reference to a piece of obscure old-school hacker lore. Some geek long ago (in the PDP-10 era!) managed to make a switch that, in theory, really shouldn't have been able to do anything, but because of a fluke of electrical engineering it'd crash the computer if you flipped it from "more magic" to just "magic."

Fortunately, the switch on the pin will stay on "more magic" forever, because that's how it's drawn. An excellent good-luck charm for your favorite computer engineer.

Inadvisably Applied JS

JavaScript (derogatory) -- but that doesn't mean we'll stop reaching for it to do... probably too much, from little bits of swoopy animations on a website's front end to whatever random thing you need to hack together with a scripting language real quick.

The design is very human. Is it scalable? No. Is it maintainable? No. Is it portable? ...Not really. But at least the pin is! Get it here.

personal nitpick completely unrelated to the winrar vulnerability itself, but.

the way this person wrote this pisses me off (probably more than it should), theres hundreds of reasons why a developer wouldnt want to implement self-updating in software, especially since implementing connecting to the internet to auto-install updates could open it up to even more potential security holes, plus it just sucks to develop. my web browser of choice, librewolf (a fork of firefox,) excludes self-updating and requires manual updates (or updates from a package manager) for these sorts of reasons. put your big boy pants on and manually download updates from developers websites and shut up

anyway. regarding winrar specifically just use 7zip instead, its free and open source, back when i used windows it served me well.

it does use unrar code to support decompressing rar archives but from what ive read the vulnerability in winrar shouldnt affect 7zip or any other programs using unrar, only winrar itself

No bug is too old, no coder is too young ...

[glowing-disciple]

I’m just gonna toss this out there.

I’m going to make a little command line utility that is essentially an HTML shorthand. Given a source file or files, it will create property formatted static HTML documents.

I’ve already made a script like this to help with a project’s website; I’m just expanding on that idea with this new program.

The thing is, I’m wondering if anyone else would find such a thing useful or not. This might be too niche to be useful.

On the other hand, there’s nothing stopping me from releasing it as an open source tool, and it should work on any operating system supported by Free Pascal.

I’m also aware of Haml, which is an open source tool that does roughly the same thing but not in the way I’d like to do it.

Anyone have an opinion about this?
