2. Sublime Text
Sublime Text is a free code editor for Mac, Windows, and Linux. It’s been one of my go-to
web development tools since day 1 of my coding journey.
Price: Free version available, premium licenses from $80.

3. Visual Studio Code (VS Code)

4. Notepad++
Notepad++ is a free code editor for Windows. Much like Sublime Text, it’s very easy to use
for beginners but offers enough features for advanced users, too.
My tip: Try the built-in FTP plugin to open and edit your code files directly on your web
server.
Price: Free

5. VIM
If you’re after a highly configurable text editor to build your perfect programming
environment, then Vim is the way to go. While it does work out of the box, for the
most part, it’s a tool that you have to learn to conquer.
The cool thing about Vim is that it can be used for any type of text editing—from
writing an email to posting blogs in Markup, or of course, editing HTML code. It
comes with 200+ syntax files, a comprehensive tag system and integrations with
Perl, TCL and Python, and can even act as an OLE automation server in Windows.

7. Codecademy
Codecademy was the first coding platform I tried back in 2016, and I still
love their courses.
You can start learning on Codecademy for free and see if coding is your
thing. All lessons are browser-based, so you don’t need to install
anything on your computer.
Their free courses are fantastic for making your first contact with web
development.

8. freeCodeCamp
Out of all tech learning platforms, freeCodeCamp probably offers
the best value.
The entire curriculum is 100% free, and it covers pretty much
everything you need to learn about web development to start a
career in tech.
If you are a complete beginner, freeCodeCamp is a great place to
start learning the fundamentals at your own pace. You can sign up
in a few seconds and start your first lesson right away.
Price: Free

9.W3Schools
W3Schools is a free learning platform for popular web development tools such
as
HTML and CSS
JavaScript and jQuery
PHP
Python
Bootstrap
I highly recommend using their tutorials for building your own
coding projects from scratch. Create a blank code file in your text
editor and start building a web page with HTML and CSS, for
example.

12.Bootstrap
Bootstrap is a free front-end toolkit for building sites and
apps with pre-built components for layout and styling. It
allows you to build responsive pages, insert navigation
menus, buttons, drop-down lists, and more within
minutes.
https://getbootstrap.com/
13.Bulma
Bulma is another easily customizable front end framework – a
great alternative to Bootstrap.
If you are familiar with CSS Flexbox, Bulma will be a breeze for
you to learn. It’s free to use, and has a large community of
developers for support.

15. Semantic UI
Semantic UI is a component framework for theming websites using what they call
“human-friendly HTML”. What they mean by this is that the tool uses words and
classes as exchangeable concepts, giving you the same benefits as BEM without
the headache.
But the real strength here is the breadth of Semantic UI’s components.

16. Foundation

17. Materialize

18. Angular

19. React
https://reactjs.org/
20. Vue
Yet another JavaScript library, like React, Vue (or Vue.js) is built for
working with user interfaces. Labelling itself as a more “approachable,
versatile and performant” alternative, it helps you create a more
maintainable and testable codebase.
https://vuejs.org/
21. Meteor.js
Meteor.js is a free and open-source full-stack isomorphic
framework (meaning you can run it both on the client and
server side). It might not be as popular as React or Vue,
but it’s still considered one of the best solutions to enable
devs to swiftly build and deploy web, mobile or desktop
apps.
https://www.meteor.com/
22. Svelte
We love Svelte for two reasons. One, it just sounds awesome and two, it’s all about empowering
folks to build their projects with way less code, which is something we’re passionate about here at
Paperform.
Technically, Svelte isn’t a framework or a library. It’s a “compiler”, and it’s gained quite a
reputation in the web dev community for being one of the best frontend frameworks on the
market. It’s lightweight, SEO-optimised and unlike tools like React or Vue, doesn’t require heavy
browser processing.
Svelte’s “killer app” is that is has no virtual Dom. This means there’s considerably less re-renders of
the UI, leading to a lightning fast experience. Some devs will be put off by this, but it makes it an
ideal option for beginners or smaller projects.
