HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are what you need to know before creating a website. HTML and CSS are the markup languages responsible for the layout and style of webpage elements, and JavaScript is the programming language that can make those elements interactive. Writing code in these languages can be easy and convenient if you use special programs. We will tell you about one of such programs.

What is this program?

Brackets for Windows is the editor for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other web development languages, created by Adobe. There are many extensions with the tools you need to work on code, such as the Git version control system, HTML preview in a browser (Live Preview), FTP synchronization (Git-FTP), and more.

How can this software simplify your work?

The syntax of the specified programming language is highlighted in a separate color, allowing the developer to orientate the written code better and easily find the expression's beginning and end. In addition, all lines in the editor are numbered to simplify the orientation of the written code. Blocks with certain expressions or tags can be collapsed to make the code easier to navigate and work with.

Interaction with your browser

Brackets for Windows contains a built-in plug-in allowing you to display code changes in the Google Chrome browser in real-time. Due to this, the developer can immediately see how the interface varies when changes are made to the HTML and CSS files.

Working with multiple files at once

Brackets allow you to work with multiple files at once. All opened files are displayed in the left menu, and you can easily switch between them. There is an additional feature of sorting documents by different parameters: by name, date, type, etc. You can switch between them with unique keys without using your mouse.

Debug mode

The most helpful feature for developers is the ability to monitor their errors in code. That's why Brackets has a debugging mode working like a developer mode in a browser.

Conclusions

Brackets is an excellent choice for those who deal with programming and web development professionally. You can extend its wide built-in functionality with add-ons and plug-ins. It is also worth noting that the program is entirely free.
