To get started you need a computer. Once you have a computer you need to create an optimized workflow. You will need to write down or design how you will store and saves files. This is called a file hierarchy. It acts like a filing system but instead of manila folders it uses the folders on your computer.
Ask yourself:
For level #1:
Once you have a computer and have installed Sublime go ahead and install Google Chrome.
Level 1 file types focus mostly on documents and images. Document files we will use will be microsoft notepad .txt, an open source .html files. We will use these to create webpages using both notepad and Sublime as text editors. Level 1 images will be .png and .ico. We use .png as high quality images of anything such as photos and logos. We use .ico for icons, specifially for creating favicons to identify our website.
Before starting organize where files will go on your computer. Modern operating systems use gui (graphical user interfaces) to see and interact with data. Windows automatically sets user profile up with a basic folder system to place files by type. Out the box files are commonly stored on c: drive. The system has folders for documents, pictures, music, and videos. Their location on the hard-drive is:
Locations on a pc are called file paths. File paths work on Windows File Explorer the way website names, called addresses, work on Microsoft Edge (or any other browser). The location is where your file is stored and where an operating system (OS) will look for it if you try to open, move, or delete it. For this level using default folder is fine. Later you will want to put files in custom locations you create.
