the Working with Data and APIs course on the coding train.

So what I want to do in this video is pretty simple.

I just want to give you a quick list of all the things you

either need to know before you start the course

and what kind of tools and software and things

in order to be able follow along in the tutorials.

is just JavaScript, the programming language itself.

So if you're a total new programmer, if you never

to check out my intro series about learning

to code with JavaScript using the P5 JS library.

Also it would be really helpful if you understood

the basics of HTML, how to write an HTML web

page, what the Dom is, what Dom elements are on the page.

I offer you some resources in this video's description.

Knowing a little bit about CSS or cascading style sheets

could also be useful, but definitely not required.

that you need to know before you get started.

need to have operationally on your computer

So first, thing you need is a code editor.

In the videos, I'm using Visual Studio Code.

It's a pretty popular code editor that a lot of people

use now, but there's no reason you need to use it.

You could use a number of any other text editor

Atom is one, Brackets, Sublime, there's somebody text editors.

You also don't need to use a text editor locally

you could use an online code editor, Code Pen, JS Fiddle,

the P5 web editor, any of these would work.

But if you want to follow on exactly what I'm doing,

Visual Studio Code is the editor that I'm using.

in order for the examples I'm writing to work,

I also need to run a web server, and a lot

of the text editors like Visual Studio Code, for example,

have extensions that will run a web server for you.

You can run a web server by typing in some commands

into your terminal access to your computer.

where I cover how to download a text editor,

access to your computer, how to launch a web server, all

because there I start using something called Node dot JS,

You'll notice I'm using an application called iTerm, which

You can use just the default Mac terminal application.

If you're on Windows, the command prompt.

Power Shell, Get Bash, if you're on Linux.

I assume you know what you're doing in terms of shell access.

So that's what you can use, because you're

Node and run node commands from terminal itself.

You don't actually need to do this right now,

I'll explain to you what Node is and how to install it,

and ready for that go ahead and install that now.

look at deploying your project to a web server in the cloud,

called Git, which is version control software, and GitHub,

which is a website where you can take your Git repos

That may be completely unfamiliar to you.

I will give you a sort of basic primer on that

will be something that you might want to check out.

as well, before you get started with this course,

but it won't come in all the way until module 3.

I am sure that I have forgotten something,

so I'd encourage you to check out the video's description,

because as people are watching the course,

they're asking questions, and I realize I'm forgetting things.

I will add them to the video's description.

So at least there there will be a list with links of everything

that you might need to know or have before you get started
