// THE POINT THIS WEEK
Course intro. Install and tour VS Code. Browser DevTools first look. Create GitHub account, first repo, first commit.
// TALKING POINTS
The toolchain is the first skill
- An editor writes it, a browser runs it, Git remembers it
- VS Code, DevTools, and GitHub are the same tools professionals use, not training wheels
- Every week ends the same way: commit, push, done means pushed
Version control from day one
- A repo is a project folder with a memory
- A commit is a snapshot with a message: what changed and why
- Push sends your snapshots to GitHub, off your laptop, safe from spilled drinks
