Parental Guidance
In "Cluck and Code: An Introduction to HTML with Chickens," we'll be using Visual Studio Code (VS Code), a free and powerful coding editor provided by Microsoft. This tool offers an ideal environment for building and styling HTML pages, thanks to its user-friendly interface and robust features tailored for web development. To participate fully in this course, it's highly recommended that students have access to either a Mac or a PC, as these platforms support VS Code most effectively. Unfortunately, the course may not function optimally on Chromebooks, as installing and running VS Code on these devices can present challenges. This setup ensures that students can leverage all the functionalities required to learn and apply their coding skills efficiently.
Pre-Requisites
Ideal for beginners, students should have basic computer skills and be comfortable with typing to make the most of this course.
