You can use the arduino IDE too if you are not comfortable with Node MCU.

thanks technochatter , actually i'm using Arduino to connect the ESPs to the PC because the FTDI isn't available for me
and now i have the code that make the ESP work as client and server (it can send and receive together)
but i have a problem now with the software serial , i have to use it but when i use it , it keeps typing strange marks when i open the serial monitor , and away from the software serial when i use the sendDate function i made after it send the data the two ESPs usually auto restarting do you have any idea why does that happen please ?
