Master Web Development at Noble Desktop

Noble Desktop's Full-Stack Web Development Certificate covers HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the modern web stack.

Comments tell the web browser to ignore a section of code. We use them to document and debug our code.

To comment out one or more lines of code in Sublime Text, place the cursor anywhere in a line (or select multiple lines) and hit Cmd–/ (Mac) or Ctrl–/ (Windows).

Use the same keystroke on an empty line to insert a blank comment.
