Chapter 2. Web Development Tools

Every professional has a set of tools that facilitates their work and gets the job done. Likewise, we will also need our own tools to do our bit of building responsive websites. So, before we start working on the projects in this book, the following are the tools we have to prepare.

Tools that we will have to prepare include:

  • A code editor for writing codes
  • A compiler that will compile the CSS preprocessor syntax into plain CSS
  • A local server to host the websites locally during the development stage
  • A bower to manage the website libraries
