Development Tools - Web Standards: Mastering HTML5, CSS3, and XML - page 396

Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to select development tools, regardless of the platform of your preference. By
now you should know the vital features that are needed for effective work, such as support for control characters
and special characters like the BOM, and syntax highlighting. The most fundamental tool of standards-based web
design is an advanced text editor, and a carefully selected combination of software tools can expedite your web site
standardization efforts, both in redesign and start-from-scratch projects.
After you have acquired the standards, approaches, and knowledge described in the previous chapters, it is time
to apply the theory in practice. In the next chapter, all these things will be used together in step-by-step guides to
improve your hand-coding skills.
