Get Started Using Windows Subsystem for Linux

One of the most important decisions that you need to make as a developer is what tools and development environments you want to use. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) lets you use the tools that you want, in the environment you want, on the hardware you want. In the past, most developers have opted to use macOS or Linux because the most common development tools, languages and frameworks are easy to install and and work with on those operating systems. With WSL, you can easily run a GNU/Linux environment directly on Windows! In this workshop, we'll show you how to install the tools, set them up, and use WSL to create a website!
