This is a substantial rework of the text, and a few things have moved between tutorials codebar#1 and codebar#2. Major changes: - if statements, booleans, and operators other than + have moved to codebar#2 - objects have moved to codebar#1 - more detailed explanations, slower pacing early on - much deeper focus on functions The things which were moved around are in aid of a larger refactor: after this change, students should be able to manage js tutorials codebar#3 through codebar#6 using only the material learned in codebar#1. This lets them jump into building working websites faster. Things which were removed from tutorial codebar#1 have been added to codebar#2 for now just to have them somewhere, but a near-term goal should be to break codebar#2 into smaller chunks and introduce them as part of other exercises, where students can be building things instead of reading about them.

I am still not fully satisfied with tutorial #1, because it still involves too much reading and far too little building. I have some ideas on how to make more progress on this, but that will take time, and this change seems to be an immediate improvement.
