Learning Objectives

Priorities: 🥚, 🐣, 🐥, 🐔 (click to learn more)

There is a lot to learn in this repository. If you can't master all the material at once, that's expected! Anything you don't master now will always be waiting for you to review when you need it. These 4 emoji's will help you prioritize your study time and to measure your progress: - 🥚: Understanding this material is required, it covers the base skills you'll need for this module and the next. You do not need to finish all of them but should feel comfortable that you could with enough time. - 🐣: You have started all of these exercises and feel you could complete them all if you just had more time. It may not be easy for you but with effort you can make it through. - 🐥: You have studied the examples and started some exercises if you had time. You should have a big-picture understanding of these concepts/skills, but may not be confident completing the exercises. - 🐔: These concepts or skills are not necessary but are related to this module. If you are finished with 🥚, 🐣 and 🐥 you can use the 🐔 exercises to push yourself without getting distracted from the module's main objectives. ---

3. Adapting Plans

Even the best plans are not perfect, it's not possible to know everything ahead of time! You may be able to plan everything ahead of time when the web pages you build are very small and you have the code ahead of time, but it's a whole different thing when you need to build a larger web page over a longer period of time.

In this chapter you will practice full Agile Development by developing a larger, open-ended web pages and adapting your plans as you go. Your team will need to make an initial plan, but the plan will change! Practice having regular meetings with your group to review the website's progress, review your plan, and make any changes in the plan that are necessary to keep the project on schedule.

[danielhalasz]

@inna9Z each file in your repo (including the cspell.json) is specific to that repo/branch. So if you already have added many words in the previous one, you can just copy-paste it now into your new repo as well.
