๐Ÿซ Pedagogy

Our curriculum is designed with two key pedagogical principles in mind:

  • project-based learning
  • frequent quizzes

The program teaches the fundamentals of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, as well as the latest tools and techniques used by today's web developers. Students will have the opportunity to develop hands-on experience by building a typing game, virtual terrarium, eco-friendly browser extension, space-invader-style game, and a banking app for businesses. By the end of the series, students will have gained a solid understanding of web development.

๐ŸŽ“ You can take the first few lessons in this curriculum as a Learn Path on Microsoft Learn!

By ensuring that the content aligns with projects, the process is made more engaging for students and retention of concepts will be augmented. We also wrote several starter lessons in JavaScript basics to introduce concepts, paired with a video from the "Beginners Series to: JavaScript" collection of video tutorials, some of whose authors contributed to this curriculum.

In addition, a low-stakes quiz before a class sets the intention of the student towards learning a topic, while a second quiz after class ensures further retention. This curriculum was designed to be flexible and fun and can be taken in whole or in part. The projects start small and become increasingly complex by the end of the 12-week cycle.

While we have purposefully avoided introducing JavaScript frameworks to concentrate on the basic skills needed as a web developer before adopting a framework, a good next step to completing this curriculum would be learning about Node.js via another collection of videos: "Beginner Series to: Node.js".

web-dev-for-beginners's Issues

Links open blank page on github mobile

Issue :
Some links only showing blank page on github mobile app.

Source of issue :
There is no filename in the link.

Fix :
Replace all links like /1-getting-started-lessons/1-intro-to-programming-languages/ into /1-getting-started-lessons/1-intro-to-programming-languages/README.md.
Because of the first link only works on GitHub web, maybe.

Notes :
Resolving this will also help #3 (preventing docsify.js - page not found)

How to complete the Course

Amazing Looking Course!

Hi guys! course looks amazing and I'm super enthusiastic about web development, but I don't fully understand how this course works, I'm still a newbie! can anyone help me out with this?

Help, I'm new!

Hi, I'm new to GitHub and I want to start helping out in some project. Could someone be kind enough to just let me know how the code is compiled into one URL and how are they connected here in Github. I understand how the pull requests, branches, issues section, and a little bit of markdown work ( because I took the intro course from the lab ), but I don't get how all this code thrown in the code tab compiles/connects as one and contributes to building the software. Final question: is github only for building websites? Or how and where is the software built here used and applied elsewhere.
If this is not a project/server that encourages new guys then I deeply apologise and appreciate your time.
Thanks

Expanding on JS Closure topic

Quoted from #84 :

The reason I think the highlighted part needs some change is that, it well explained function scope. But if it is titled with the name Closure, there might be some stuff missing (eg. things like why the state of the outer function can just be initialized once, etc.). I mean Closure is a big topic, and even some experienced developers will have tough time explaining what it is during interviews. So viewers of this curriculum might find it a bit challenging to understand if the target audience is at beginner level.

typos

The comment output is wrong
${myString1}, ${myString2}! //Hello World!

it should be:
Hello, World!

Bank Project๏ผš localhost and 127.0.0.1 behave differently

When I run "npx live-server",the URL displays in the Edge is "127.0.0.1:8080/login".
But login action is blocked by browser because of CROS .
What the interesting part is when i change it to "lcoalhost",it works.

So ๏ผŒi have found that server.js which under api folder just match "localhost" with regualr expression in line 30.
generally they should be same thing๏ผŒdo i need to PR for this๏ผŸ

Pre Lecture Quiz won't open in offline mode

While doing the course offline using docsify, in the first topic i.e.., 1-getting-started-lessons/1-intro-to-programming-languages/ there comes a pre-lecture-quiz.md the docsify transfers the link to the root .github folder where the file is not present hence giving a 404 status.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start the offline way as described in the README
  2. Scroll to 'http://localhost:3000/#/1-getting-started-lessons/1-intro-to-programming-languages/README'
  3. Scroll down to 'pre-lecture-quiz' and click on it.
  4. See the 404 error.
  5. Error being that it goes to this while it should be going to this .
  6. The problem is with the way Github(links starting from '.' are of the same folder) and Docsify(links starting from '.' are from the root folder) handles dynamic links .

Let's rethink the quizzes a little

Right now, the quizzes are intended to integrate with GitHub Classroom, but I haven't been able to make that work. If someone can create a GitHub Action to grade quizzes, or suggest an alternate way to give ungraded feedback, please let's discuss here!

Switched comparative operators for <,>,<=,>= in README.md

This is fairly self-explanitory. I realize that the description explains the comparisons properly, but the symbol reads from left to right and are named as such.

Seeing a table with '<' in the first column and the large header of 'Greater than' in the next doesn't bode well for those who may not be mathematically inclined to begin with.

Food for thought.

Audit quiz links for docsify integration

The links to the quizzes need to be edited for docsify to work. Investigating the proper format; it's possible we should pull the quizzes out of the .github folder.
