# Guidelines for web development

These are the rules to follow when creating files and folders and projects.

1. Always work from a project folder. In VS Code, open a folder for each project. All your files for that project should be inside that folder and visible in the Explorer panel in VS Code.
2. Create a Documents/code/ folder and then create a folder for each class inside the code folder.
3. Do NOT save files to your Desktop.
4. Do NOT work off an external drive to do your development or design work.
5. Use lowercase names for files and folders.
6. No spaces in file or folder names. Use hyphens instead.
7. Use your algonquin username as your username for all your online accounts for school.
8. Use your algonquin email address for all your online accounts for school.
9. Push your commits to Github as often as possible.
