- Mozilla Developer Network, wisdom, references, and tutorials from the people that make Firefox. Teaches CSS, JS, and HTML.
- Atom, a great "Text Editor" that is, it's an editor for code. It will highlight your code for you, format it, and can be extended however you please.
- Developer Tools Overview for Firefox, teaches you how to use the developer tools. You can also look at the special dev edition if you want to experiment with new things.
- Rosetta Code, Khan, Codeschool, Code Academy, HackerRank, all great places to find problems and learn to code.
- Markdown, it's a nice plaintext format that this README is in!
- IRC, lost and need help with code? Can't find answers via Google? Check out the
