Coders Lair!
This lesson was all about what it takes to set up the ideal coding environment for software devlopment.
There are numerous tools available at our disposal and here are a few important one’s with a brief discrption.
1. The Terminal ! 
Terminals, also known as command lines or consoles, allow us to accomplish and automate tasks on a computer without the use of a graphical user interface. Using a terminal allows us to send simple text commands to our computer to do things like navigate through a directory or copy a file, and form the basis for many more complex automations and programming skills.
Eg commands:
- cd = Change directory
- ls = List all files/folders
- pwd = present working directory
