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
