Describe your suggestion

In the lesson "Variables and operators", it does not mention anything about variable naming. It appears only after "knowledge check" with a supposed article about it. Maybe attach a link to that article in the section about variables?

@TheOdinProject/javascript Anyone have a view on this?

Good spot! I'm surprised that javascript.info variables lesson isn't actually in the main lesson content - I thought it was. I agree that given it's a sensible knowledge check question, it ought to link to something from the lesson itself, be that a section or something we link to.

I think a brief assignment step in the Assignment section "Go through the following articles to deepen your knowledge" bit would suit the variables link. Just a brief first step like

1. Read up on variables in JavaScript from JavaScript.info.

Since you did not check the assignment box, I'll open this up for contribution.

Acceptance criteria

• [ ] The Assignment section, just after the "Go through the following articles to deepen your knowledge" bit, has a first step added that links to the variables lesson from javascript.info, similar to the above.
