Tools and Files and More Tools


Tools you absolutely will 100% need


TEXT EDITOR

Edit Text files (HTML) in a Text Editor
IF YOU DONT KNOW: Jedit


The standard? "text/html"


FILE TRANSFER

Transfer those files to "Torch", our webserver
IF YOU DON'T KNOW - Filezilla


The standards? "FTP / SFTP"
(SFTP = SSH + FTP)


WEB BROWSER

View and Preview those files
IF YOU DONT KNOW - Firefox


Lets talk about Files (and linux)

You don't have to be able to do ANY of the following command line stuff..
.. but I feel as if it will help in the long run.


Everything In Linux is a File

Not just C:


The Linux Filesystem



The Unix Way(s)

(because everything is a file)


Lots of SMALL programs and COMMAND LINE interaction


Markup Languages

Text + Computer ready annotation:
HTML - HyperText Markup Language
strongly related to
XML - eXtensible Markup Language




Tools you will NOT need, but Linux admins do


Virtualization and Containerization


VIRTUALIZATION

For here, simple: VirtualBox
There is also Hyper-V, VMWare, etc
Also Emulations YAY OLD GAMES


CONTAINERIZATION

Docker, Rocket, LXC


COMPATIBILITY LAYERING (e.g. Wine/Proton on Linux)

Runs THEIR programs without a "system"



SSH/Terminal

Aka, connecting to another computer and talking to it.
Rsync


Tools that I personally can't live without, but are not (yet) canon
