Getting Started

You will need:

• A computer
• A terminal (A linux/mac machine already comes with one, for Windows users, use Git Bash - see below)
• VSCode - get it here
• Git - get it here

Basic command line

I encourage you to get comfortable using the command line.

To get started you will want to do something like this, open you terminal and type:

Navigate to your 'home' directory:

cd ~/

Create a folder called 'git-workspace'

mkdir git-workspace

Navigate to that folder

cd git-workspace

Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/dwjohnston/javascript-101.git

Navigate into lesson 1

cd javascript-101/lesson-101-introduction-to-javascript

When you are done with lesson 101 - you can navigate up a folder using .. like:

cd ../lesson-102-syntax

Note for Windows users

If you are a Windows user, we assume that you are using Git Bash as your terminal to run all exercises.

These exercises will have you run yarn start:windows instead of yarn:start. The reason for this is an issue with how Jest works on Windows, see this Stack Overflow question and answer here.

If you have any trouble running any exercises, please raise an issue on the github.
