Mozilla has this week released a new update to its Thimble online code editor that the company has created to aid with learning to code using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
The new Mozilla Thimble code editor has been redesign to provide a starting point for teaching web literacy in a simple, “hands-on and visual fashion”, says Mozilla. Watch the video below to see it in action and some of the new features you can expect to use.
The new Thimble code editor includes a wealth of new features and enhancements including :
– Expanded capabilities. Users can now build and link multiple web pages, rather than just one, within a single project
– A helping hand. A more guided learning experience featuring easy-to-use tutorials, auto-closing tags and autocomplete
– A streamlined interface. A sleeker look and feel with light and dark theme options, an easy-to-use color picker, and easy access to all of your files and projects
– Drag, drop and unzip. You can now drag and drop a zipped website into the editor, expand it, and start hacking immediately
– Better previews. A mobile browser preview mode, to see how your project will appear on the mobile Web
– So much more. Auto save, extensions, a selfie-taker and other new features
Mozilla explains more :
We believe the Web is a better place when everyone can read, write and participate online, a belief that served as our inspiration for first creating Thimble in 2012. With Thimble, users write and edit HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on the left side of their screen, and watch their code come to life on the right. Learners can start with simple remixes, changing words and images on a page to familiarize themselves with code and build confidence. Learners can also work their way toward creating entire web pages from scratch.
