Module #3 - Browsers

Browsers

If you were to ask a random person on the street the question "What is a browser?", you'll most likely get a variety of (incorrect) answers. For proof, check this out.

You might be one of those people right now, but after this module no more. In Browsers you'll learn all about how the browsers work and how to use the JavaScript you just learned within the browser.

Learning goals

In order to successfully complete this module you will need to master the following:

  • Understand what the DOM is
  • Use the basics of DOM Manipulation
  • Build a cool quiz website from scratch as a group
  • Learn how to present yourself and your code

How to use this repository

Repository content

This repository consists of 2 essential parts per week:

  1. README: this document contains all the required theory you need to understand while working on the assignment. It contains the list of concepts that you will want to study this week and points you to your study book to read all about them. This is the first thing you should start with every week
  2. MAKEME: this document contains the instructions for each week's assignment. Start with the exercises rather quickly, so that you can ground the concepts you read about earlier.

How to study

Let's say you are just starting out with the Browsers module. This is what you do...

  1. The week always starts on Wednesday. First thing you'll do is open the README.md for that week. For the first week of Browsers, that would be Reading W1.
  2. You spend Wednesday and Thursday going over the resources and try to get a basic understanding of the concepts. In the meanwhile, you'll also implement any feedback you got on last week's assignment (from the JavaScript1 module).
  3. On Friday you start with the assignment, found in the MAKEME.md. For the first week of Browsers, that would be Assignment W1.
  4. You spend Friday and Saturday playing around with the exercises and write down any questions you might have.
  5. DEADLINE 1: You'll submit any questions you might have before Saturday 23.59, in the cohort channel.
  6. On Sunday you'll attend the session. It'll be of the Q&A format, meaning that there will be no new material. Instead your questions shall be discussed and you can learn from others
  7. You spend Monday and Tuesday finalizing your assignment.
  8. DEADLINE 2: You submit your assignment to the right channels (GitHub) before Tuesday 23.59. If you can't make it on time, please communicate it with your mentor
  9. Start the new week by going back to point 1!
