Here's what we do with beginner developers who have never coded before:
- build pages in Codepen so they can see everything build as they go, fork from templates, and share/riff off each other
- export from Codepen to a folder so they can see that static sites are just text files in a folder and nothing mysterious -- at this point I also introduce an editor like VSCode
- drag and drop that folder onto Github and deploy to Netlify
You can do this in an hour with brand new coders. https://syllabus.codeyourfuture.io/fundamentals/week-1/sessi...
