Homework

No homework to turn in this week. But make sure you have finished the News site we worked on today in class because we'll being using that same code when we start to work with React.

For our next class, we're going to work through two or three of the mock-ups from front-end mentors.

Introduced Binary Number System

Class Video

Homework

No homework assignments this week. Just use the time to review the two front-end mentor challenges we did.

Also, understanding how binary and hexadecimal numbers work is an important skill. I added a few more videos to the page within the JavaScript gitbook I showed during class. There are several general videos that I think do a good job of explaining the concepts and I also included links to the recordings I made that correspond to the slides I showed today during class.

I recommend you review the videos in the Resources section to see if the concepts become clearer with a few different ways of explaining them.
