For next session
- If you haven't already: Make sure your journal is live on GitHub pages, your
/peoplecard is posted there, and your machine has the course dependencies installed. - Before Wednesday's session: Begin thinking about the many different ways you can sketch and specify a project:
- James Buckhouse's "Story Map"
- Jason Fried's "Sketching with a Sharpie"
- Joel Spolsky's "Painless Functional Specifications" series
- Francis Cortez's "Personal Design Sprint #1", #2, and #3
- Alexander Cowan's "Your Best Agile User Story"
- Submit a Code Snippet Request or get in touch on Slack if you have any trouble!
- If you want to get started with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you might check out the Tools & Materials page. We suggest starting with our own intro to and demo of the basics of HTML/CSS/JS. Then, we recommend Shay Howe's Learn to Code HTML & CSS and the online book series You Don't Know JS.
