What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Web Design for Beginners Book
RequiredA physical reference you can flip through away from the screen. Covers HTML, CSS, and design principles together so you understand not just how to code a layout but why it looks good. Great companion to freeCodeCamp exercises.
Wireless Mouse and Mouse Pad
RequiredCoding is way more comfortable with a real mouse — trackpads slow you down when you are jumping between files, clicking menu items, and precise pixel-level work in browser DevTools.
External Monitor
Having two screens — your code on one side, your browser on the other — is a massive productivity upgrade. Even a basic 1080p monitor cuts your tab-switching in half and makes spotting layout bugs much easier.
