Your place in Week 0
Start with Syllabus first
Open the first lesson. You can return to any lesson from the route below.
Continue with Week 0
If you made the small profile-URL edit during Wednesday's studio, keep it. Open your private repository and check that the change is there. If you missed the class setup, use Get your workspace to catch up. You can return to Markdown: source and preview and Practice Markdown live whenever you need them; that site's practice editor does not save your work.
From there, follow this path:
- Do Markdown Tutorial, then add Markdown practice in your README. Submit that repository link to its Canvas assignment as soon as the proof is ready.
- Complete your starting mark and introduction in your repository. You may do these while Student Developer Pack approval or other account setup is still pending.
- Make visual notes on the two readings and your Figma card. These two branches can be done in either order. Submit each in Canvas when ready.
- Try the Week 0 check, then confirm your four submissions in Canvas.
The Learning Passport is an optional way to move your site place markers between browsers. A green check or percentage on this site records your place here; it does not confirm a Canvas submission.
Wednesday's studio
In class, you entered the story, read the syllabus, practiced a first Markdown change, and began your workspace. GitHub account setup was part of the first class; Student Developer Pack, Figma, and CodePen setup continues over the weekend. Figma account and class-team access are needed for the Figma card.
