Your editor is where you live all day: learn VS Code's shortcuts, settings, and extensions so it works as fast as you think.
Before you write a single line of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript — you need to understand your tools.
In this course, you’ll learn how to use Visual Studio Code, the most popular code editor in the world, and Atom, one of the most flexible open-source editors ever made.
You’ll discover the shortcuts, extensions, themes, and productivity tricks that will completely change how you code. This is a must-have course for beginners who want to code faster and smarter.
By the end, you’ll be comfortable navigating, customizing, and optimizing your text editor like a pro — so you can focus on writing great code instead of fighting with your setup.
