Everything in programming is optional to include the tools you use.

There are NO hard set rules only best practices which are also optional.

These are the things you absolutely have to have to do web dev

  1. A text editor (your choice)
  2. A web browser (your choice)

Everything else is up to you.

My suggestion to new web devs is write code. Vids are good but you will learn the most by actually writing code.

Happy Coding

  1. You can "program" with graphical building blocks and I'm sure there's some environment out there that outputs javascript.
  2. A big part of the web is APIs, which you don't need a web-browser to test.

So the actual things you need to be a web dev are: nothing.

There is no hard requirements.
