Node Pathway: Provide descriptive link text

[MaoShizhong]

Links in our lessons should be sufficiently descriptive to improve accessibility. As per the layout style guide, link text should both concisely describe its purpose (or where the link will redirect a user), and must not include the words this nor here.

Guidance

• Comment on this issue to let us know you'd like to get a section assigned to you. You can also ask for a specific one.
• Please wait until you are assigned by a maintainer before starting to work on this issue to avoid multiple people working on the same lessons.
• When you have been assigned a section, please refer to the suggested link text changes spreadsheet for instructions on what changes need to be made for your assigned lesson(s).
  • For most of these, you should just be able to copy and paste the suggested text to replace the original text shown in the spreadsheet (which may be more than just the link itself). Any additional steps/clarifications will be noted by the appropriate link(s).
  • You are welcome to use a different wording from a given suggestion if you find a better one. If you do, you must ensure the link text is consistent if there are multiple instances of the same href in the same lesson.
  • You are not required to fix any unrelated, preexisting linting errors such as list styles/indentation. Existing linting errors may cause certain tests to fail when you open a PR. You can ignore this and a maintainer will let you know if further action is required.
• Make sure to read the general contributing guide as well as the curriculum repo contributing guide before starting your first contribution.
• Please add the following to your PR in the Issues section: Related to #XXXXX , since this issue is divided into sections, individual PRs should NOT INCLUDE the closes keyword.

[strallia]

I'd be glad to help out with this issue. Could I be assigned the React lessons "React Components && What is JSX? && Keys in React && More On State"?

[MaoShizhong]

Of course you can - assigned that lesson group to you, @strallia

[Gallardo166]

Hi, I would like to try contributing for the first time. May I take on the "More Text Styles && More CSS Properties && Advanced Selectors"?

[MaoShizhong]

@Gallardo166 I've assigned you that section :rocket:

[ted-miller92]

Hello, I would like to contribute to this issue as my first contribution. May I take "What is ES6? && Asynchronous Code && A Very Brief Intro to CS"?

[MaoShizhong]

@ted-miller92 Assigned you that section!

[Crn0]

Hello, Mao! I would like to be assigned to a section if possible.

[MaoShizhong]

@Crn0 assign you Emmet && SVG :rocket:

[mathdebate09]

Hey Mao, please assign me the section for "Introduction to React && Setting Up A React Environment && Reducing State"

[MaoShizhong]

@mathdebate09 assigned!

[gingkapls]

Hello Mao! I'd be glad to contribute to the lesson on Classes under Javascript.

[MaoShizhong]

@gingkapls assigned!

[RichardAnthonySanchez]

Is the ES6 modules still available? If so, may I be assigned for that lesson? Thanks in advance!

[MaoShizhong]

@RichardAnthonySanchez All yours!

[roopxx]

Hey Mao, could you please assign me these lessons:

1. Introduction to Express && Express 101
2. Express 102: CRUD and MVC && Express 103: Routes and Controllers && Express 104: View Templates && Express 105: Forms and Deployment

[MaoShizhong]

@roopxx For now, we'll only be assigning one lesson group per person, so I'll assign you "Introduction to Express" and "Express 101" :rocket:

[yuliana-r]

@MaoShizhong happy to help with any lesson group!

[MaoShizhong]

@yuliana-r Since you're currently already assigned to #27781, I thought it probably would make sense to assign you Webpack and Linting, since that'll allow you to kill two birds with one stone. You can do everything in a single PR, and say it's Related to #27819 and Closes #27781 in the PR form.

[mikeyCos]

Hi Mao, first time contributor here and I like to contribute to Transforms && Transitions.

[MaoShizhong]

Assigned @mikeyCos !

[mikeyCos]

@MaoShizhong Mao, can you clarify if I need to include the URL for the 'replace with this text'? Specifically, Advanced HTML and CSS Course sheet, row 9 for line in markdown file 88.

Original text: Learn some handy hints on how to create performant CSS animations by reading [this article](https://web.dev/animations-guide/)

Replace with this text: Learn some handy hints on [how to create performant CSS animations]

[MaoShizhong]

@mikeyCos That's my error - good catch. I've updated the spreadsheet so the URL is included in the replacement text.

[josephdanielm]

Hey @MaoShizhong, may I please be assigned "Project: Knights Travails && Using Git in the Real World" for my first contribution? How meta!

[MaoShizhong]

Go for it, @josephdanielm!

[T0nci]

[jooo-lee]

Hi Mao! Could I be assigned to the JavaScript lessons "A Quick Review && Factory Functions and the Module Pattern"?

[MaoShizhong]

You certainly can be @jooo-lee!

[tyj916]

Hi Mao! May I be assgined to Javascript lesson "Common Data Structures and Algorithms && HashMap Data Structure && Project: Binary Search Trees" as my first contribution? Thanks in advance!

[nithindante]

Hey, Mao! I just did my first contribution, I dont know whether its okay to get one, if it is I would like to be assigned to a section

[MaoShizhong]

Have at it, @tyj916! @nithindante great enthusiasm! For now, since it's not an emergency issue, we'll keep it to a section per person. Do have a look around any other open issues if there are any that tickle your fancy and haven't been assigned/the issue author doesn't wish to work on it.

[T0nci]

@MaoShizhong Should we completely remove the links where there are blank cells in "Replace with this text" in the spreadsheet?

Nevermind I just read the notes.

[sasidharan19]

Hello Mao, want to make my first contribution. Can I take this section in Intermediate HTML and CSS "Creating a Grid && Advanced Grid Properties && Using Flexbox and Grid" ?

@BuonicosII for now, we're still sticking with one lesson group per person, but do have a look at the open issues list for any that are looking for help and have not yet been assigned/claimed. We also have other repos that may have open issues looking for help that you may feel comfortable working on. You can comment on whatever you wish to be assigned if so.
