1
00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:03,369
Here's what you need to get the most out of this course.

2
00:00:03,369 --> 00:00:05,116
It's a very short list.

3
00:00:05,116 --> 00:00:08,650
The most important and maybe only thing you need is a

4
00:00:08,650 --> 00:00:12,184
copy of Visual Studio Code installed on your computer.

5
00:00:12,184 --> 00:00:15,777
It's free, and you can download versions for Windows,

6
00:00:15,777 --> 00:00:20,196
macOS, or Linux from code.visualstudio.com.

7
00:00:20,196 --> 00:00:24,132
Experience with at least one programming language and a basic

8
00:00:24,132 --> 00:00:28,330
understanding of how software is developed would also be helpful.

9
00:00:28,330 --> 00:00:32,177
This course will not cover a specific programming language.

10
00:00:32,177 --> 00:00:35,998
I've got a simple website with a little bit of JavaScript code that

11
00:00:35,998 --> 00:00:38,198
I'll use to demonstrate various things,

12
00:00:38,198 --> 00:00:41,809
but I won't be discussing the details of the code and there

13
00:00:41,809 --> 00:00:44,112
aren't any exercise files to download.

14
00:00:44,112 --> 00:00:46,139
All you need to do is follow along,

15
00:00:46,139 --> 00:00:49,358
experiment some in your own copy of Visual Studio Code,

16
00:00:49,358 --> 00:00:52,578
and maybe use the course notebook feature to take a few

17
00:00:52,578 --> 00:00:53,770
notes along the way.

18
00:00:53,770 --> 00:00:55,00
Let's get started.
