Your Development Environment, Cont’d

In addition to a CLI (i.e. Terminal.app or Git-Bash.exe), you also should have a ready-to-go development environment on your machine. This environment should include;

• A Text Editor. Such as;
  • GitHub’s Atom - Open Source (ie. Free)
  • Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code - Open Source
  • Adobe’s Brackets - Open Source
  • Sublime Text 3 - License is $70
• A way of working with GIT. Either via;
  • A CLI, such as Terminal.app or Git-Bash.exe
    • You would use Git with CLI commands (i.e. git commit -m "some message")
  • A Git GUI App, such as;
    • GitHub Desktop (recommended)
    • SourceTree
• A GitHub account
  • github.com
• Modern web browsers for testing
  • Chrome
  • Safari
  • Firefox

If you have taken MART341 recently or MART120 - Creative Coding 1, you should be all setup and ready to go. If any of this feels unfamiliar, you need to install these tools, or you want a refresher, I would suggest you work through the content for “week 2” of Creative Coding 1.
