Setting up your machine

Steps

Setup Github. Full guide on Github's documentation.
- Github is where all of Code.Sydney's code is stored, and you will need to set up your computer to be able to push and pull code to and from your repository
Download Slack on your computer and sign into the Code.Sydney Slack workspace. Link here
- You can also access this directly from your web browser by going to Code.Sydney's Slack.
Download an IDE / Code Editor. The most popular one today is VS Code, but there are other code editors out there that might be for you.
Install your preferred web browser for development
- Chrome is the most popular web browser so it's always a safe choice, but there are other alternatives. Check this link for a rundown of some of them.
Install nodejs

What about your favourite technology?
- Aside from hosting our code on Github, each project will have their own tech stack, so you may need to install additional tech to work on your project.
