Webstorm | Editor Code editor in order to program the source code such for database tables and server | Webstorm |
MySQL | Database, storage and management of data | MySQL |

Please note that only Webstorm and MySQL are required in the first half of the module. Postman and XTerm will be the subject of the second half of the module and will be installed in due course.
