Tutorial Suggestion #32

Closed aprilmrogers closed 3 months ago

aprilmrogers commented 8 years ago

Maybe there could be a tutorial explaining things a bit better. I had problems keeping up and understanding where to click to get to certain areas where I can edit the code since I am sitting backwards to the instructor.

Thanks @aprilmrogers ! Were there particular exercises where you'd most like to see a tutorial?

GitHub. I was having difficulties following along as I had to keep straining to see what the instructor was doing. Maybe its just me because I am so new to coding and web developing.

Thanks @aprilmrogers ... We don't have a tutorial built in to GitHub like we do Thimble since GitHub was built and is maintained by an entity outside Mozilla, HOWEVER, we will be doing more practice in GitHub this afternoon.

I also want to add that there are SOME GitHub tutorials out there on the web, including some written by GitHub. I'm not particularly fond of any of them because so many assume a level of knowledge that not everyone may have. They also frequently use a lot of jargon that isn't necessarily widely understood. If you want to try some of them, here's one that might help you get started to a point before it descends into jargon-land: https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/

This is a tutorial in how to write in Markdown: http://www.markdowntutorial.com/

We've also been talking about building our own GitHub tutorial that meets our criteria for new users. Not sure when that may come to fruition.
