Touch Typing for Web Developers
What Is Touch Typing?
Touch Typing - the practice or skill of typing using all one's fingers and without looking at the keys.
How Does it Work
Home row position
The home row is a section of the keyboard that is central to all the other keys. Positioning your fingers over the home row allows you to more easily reach the other keys on the keyboard. When touch typing, returning your fingers to what is referred to as the "home row position" will assist you to type without looking at the keyboard.
Keyboard layout
Each of your fingers has a specific area of the keyboard to cover. Your index, middle and ring fingers move either up or down from their home position, your thumb covers the space bar, and your pinky fingers cover the rest (the red keys).
Build Coding Speed Through Targeted Typing Drills
Practice focused blind-typing drills with real HTML tags, CSS properties, JavaScript keywords, and common coding patterns to build stronger keyboard memory. Improve your coding flow, reduce interruptions from typos, and stay in deep focus longer while you write, edit, and refactor code.
