Check-Check

I understand, I will-not upgrade to any paid plans and for any of the following tools and services

Create, validate, and very the following accounts are active.

Code Playground is: CodePen

CodePen is an interactive-playground for practicing coding, forking other code, and following in class Lecture. Students will use CodePen under the umbrella of the Department — and have access to the paid Developer Team plan. Again, do not upgrade.

Version Control via: GitHub (service & app)

Version Control is essential for modern web design, and development. Many version control options exist, GitHub is the most widely used. The GitHub Desktop app is the graphical-user interface to the GitHub service.

Create a GitHub account, and signup for the FREE Student Developer Pack.

Build and Deploy with: Netlify

GitHub is good for version control, but not website deployment, forms, CDNs, split testing, and edge networks. Many services like Netlify exist, but it is the most widely used. See GitHub vs. Netlify for more information.
