👨🏻‍💻 Prerequisites

Technical Requirements & Installations:

🔹 Laptops or desktop computers with at least 4GB of RAM and an updated web browser (Recommended: Google Chrome)
🔹 Internet connectivity with sufficient bandwidth for online learning and collaboration
🔹 A text editor for writing code (e.g.Recommended Visual Studio Code, Other alternatives Sublime Text, Atom)
🔹 A version control system such as Git installed on the computer
🔹 Node JS v18.0+ Installed on your computer.
