50+ Best Web

Development
Tools And
Resources

BY -ABEL
ABOUT THIS E-BOOK

When you start learning to code, it can be


difficult to find the right web development tools
and resources to support your workflow.

To help you get started, I put together this 50+


list of my favorite web development tools and
resources.
Code editors and IDEs for web development
1. Atom

Atom is a free, easy-to-use code editor with powerful customization options. Much
like WordPress themes, Atom users can create custom themes for this editor to
improve usability.
Price: Free

Download :
https://atom.io/

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.

Download :
https://www.sublimetext.com/
3. Visual Studio Code (VS Code)

VS Code is a popular code editor with helpful features such as syntax


highlighting, smart code completion, built-in debugger, and easy deployment
tools.
VS Code allows you to customize the look of your interface to fit your needs.
Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Price: Free

Download :
https://code.visualstudio.com/

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

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
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.

https://www.vim.org/

6. CodePen

CodePen is a web development environment for front end designers and


developers. It’s a browser-based code editor where you can type in your
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code, and run it to see the results instantly.
You can share your “pens” with others, too, and link to them to showcase
your work easily.
Price: Free

Download :
https://codepen.io/
General web development resources

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.

https://www.codecademy.com/

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

https://www.freecodecamp.org/
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.

https://www.w3schools.com/

10.The Odin Project


The Odin Project is one of the most beginner-friendly platforms to learn
web development from scratch. It’s 100% free and open-source.
I love their project-based curriculum. It’s the best way to learn how to apply
your web dev skills to building meaningful projects from the get-go.
Price: Free

https://www.theodinproject.com/
Boilerplates and frameworks

11. HTML5 Boilerplate


HTML5 Boilerplate helps you build fast and robust websites
faster. It’s a set of files you can download and use as a quick
starting point for your next web project.
The boilerplate includes a basic HTML/CSS/JS template you can
use to create responsive, fast-loading websites that work on all
browsers.

https://html5boilerplate.com/

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.

https://bulma.io/

14. Tailwind CSS


Tailwind CSS is a popular CSS framework for building responsive, customized
user interfaces faster.
Compared to Bootstrap, for example, Tailwind CSS doesn’t have a default
theme or built-in UI components you could use.
Instead, the framework comes with pre-designed widgets that you can use to
build and design your site from scratch.

https://tailwindcss.com/
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.

https://semantic-ui.com/

16. Foundation

Foundation is packed with features to help build content-focused


websites, even providing users with HTML, CSS & Javascript templates
to speed up the process. You can also use Foundation For Emails to
craft HTML emails that look a million bucks on any platform.

https://foundation.zurb.com/
17. Materialize

Materialize is a modern framework based on Google's Material Design


language, combining the classic principles of design with innovation and
tech. As a language its goal is to help unify user experience across any
platform, which is fitting, as this is a focus at Materialize as well.
From the animations to UI elements and everything between, there's a real
focus on user experience above all else. That's not to say the technical tools
aren't there. They are. It's fast, robust and has a low learning curve.

https://materializecss.com/

18. Angular

Angular (or Angularjs) is a popular Javascript framework created and maintained by


Google. It’s a cross-platform solution with a cohesive ecosystem of third-party
components, meaning you can add a bunch of your own unique functionality
improvements.

https://angular.io/
19. React

React (React.js) is another great Javascript library built by another ultra-powerful


tech company: in this case, Meta. Made specifically for building user interfaces, it
makes it painless to create interactive UIs in a visual way.
A component-based system means that individual components manage their own
state, and can then be composed to build complex UIs. React can also render on a
server using Node, and with React Native you can power mobile apps as well.

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.
