In 2018 learning to code should be easy, right? You would think as time has gone on learning to code would have become easier especially with all the advances we have made. I am sure most have heard the story of AI taking over everything that man can do and do so much better. You have also probably have heard of AI creating it’s own computer language which us humans couldn’t understand and which was much more performant than we have yet to accomplish. All this aside we have made some major strides that help us to code in this ever more complicated enviornment. With all the different languages, libraries and frameworks out there, not to mention all the different other things like Markdown and Apps we should be familar with it has gotten very difficult. One thing that has made life easier is Emmet.

Emmet is a plug-in available in most if not all Code Editors. It helps us in a regex sort of way to type in a few characters and out comes multiple lines of code. I have used Atom, Dreamweaver, Buffer, CodeAnywhere, Brakets, Sublime and my favorite Visual Studio code. All have Emmet support for free. One editor I like but charges for everything is Coda 2. You have to pay extra to use Emmet which is total bull as you have to actually buy Coda 2 and then pay more for Emmet. Why would I use Coda if I can get a much better experience for free witha number of other Editors?

It is an awesome tool and you should be using it. The code snippet above looks a little intimidating but you can use it for much soimpler expansions. Like just typing . logo it gives you a div with the class of whatever you wrote after the dot. In this case logo.
