Course Overview
Brackets is an open source text editor this course will show you what you can do with it
Learn more about using Brackets as your code editor.
A modern, open source text editor that understands web design. Learn how to use Brackets and see all the functionality in action. Learn about top extensions and addons. Review of best setup techniques.
Learn how to use Brackets and how you can easily switch to using Brackets as your code editor.
I've been a web developer since 2000 and have used a number of code editors. I was originally using Dreamweaver in a number of my courses. I found that there were many students who wanted to have the same editor and setup that I have as they follow along with course content. I switched to several open source editors until I found Brackets. I've been using Brackets on a regular basis and found that I don't open Dreamweaver as much anymore. The best part of Brackets its free, so anyone who wants to use the same editor as I do in my courses can do so without barrier.
I decided to create this course to illustrate how to get brackets, how to set it up and some of the advanced features available in Brackets. In addition I wanted to list out top extensions to really power up your Brackets application.
I also cover my XAMPP server setup which allows me to use localhost as my webserver. XAMPP is really straight forward on getting going so most of the course is focused on using Brackets.

My first brackets course just to get things set up and learn my way around. Perfect for a get started with brackets course.

Good basic introduction to Brackets, although felt the presentation a little disorganised at times and rushed in places.

Learned a few things I didn't know before but it is a shame the PSD Extract Function no longer features as it was the one thing I really wanted to get to grips with.

A bit dated, I discovered PSD extract support was removed by Adobe a couple years ago but the course was on offer at no cost so I'm not complaining. Actually forces me to go find out the missing stuff myself so that's a good part of self directed learning. Nevertheless, it would be good for the tutors profile to keep it fresh with regular updates.
