Hello, I would like to help out on this issue. But I'm quite a rookie myself in web-dev (spent around 10 months learning.), is it okay?

DanielOrmeno commented 5 years ago

By all means! All contributions are welcome. We'll polish the content as we go. Thank you for the interest!

I'd like to contribute and expand my http knowledge! I had two queries:

  1. What should the level of difficulty explanation for the content? Should I write ELI5 type explanations or can I assume some familiarity of the audience with computers in general.
  2. Just to be sure, you want all the explanation markdown files as well as images in the assets directory right?

Regards 😄

I have made a pull request for HTTP, but I left out HTTPS as I have yet to study it. I think it should be done by godcrampy, he looks more knowledgable.

DanielOrmeno commented 5 years ago

Hi @godcrampy yes! the content should be included in the markdown files and any additional assets should live in the assets folder.

With regards to the level of difficulty, this is a beginner (Starting from zero) course so the narrative of the content should be targeting non-tech people, ELI5 should work fine! The idea is that we can all make the content grow, so any further contributions to the content that is already there are encouraged!

I'm still looking for contributors to enhance the current content.
