🛠️ Day 2: Plan, Prepare, and Build Like a Real Developer
Today, you're stepping into real web development — not just learning how websites work, but starting to plan and build one yourself. Before we jump into coding, it's critical to learn how real developers plan their projects, set up their tools, and create websites that users actually love.
Here's what you'll do today:
- Learn the 10 Golden Rules of great web design — so your websites are clear, simple, and user-friendly
- Discover the full web development process — from planning and coding to launching and improving
- Plan your first real project: a personal portfolio website
- Set up your professional coding environment with VS Code, Chrome Developer Tools, and CodePen
Think of this day as laying the foundation for everything you'll build next. You'll practice smart project planning — the skill that separates finishers from people who quit halfway.
Reminder: You don't need to be perfect. You just need to take the next small step. Follow along, get your setup ready, and let's build something real. 🚀
