and so dropping support for ie8

Thanks Andy, this is great! 👌 Thoughts: On the one hand, this is the jQuery tutorial not the JS native Array method tutorial. On the other hand, you're 100% right, we should be teaching I wonder whether we should include a section on advanced native Array/Object methods (e.g. |

| As you can see from the console, the resulting objects are returned inside an Array. We want to iterate over the list using the `$.each( )` function and add each item to the `#genres` list, as a **list item**. As we need to have access to the `key` as well, we can set that as the list item's `id`. | |||

We should probably clarify here that we mean the native method. How about we change the following
using the
forEach( )function
to something like
using the native Array
forEach( )method

I totally agree with splitting things out later on, especially for introducing terms like "method" rather than just "function". It was a bit tricky to talk about forEach without mentioning methods. Like you said though, we can always introduce that later. |
ie8 is the last supported version of internet explorer for windows xp. It's usage is 1%-4% depending on which site you ask.
At the moment, we teach
$.eachas the way to iterate through an array, and I'd rather have students know the built-in array functions. Dropping ie8 means we can update our material, which is what this pull request does.Thoughts?
