Class 1 Notes

**Why Markdown?

• HTML gives you significant control, but slows down authoring

• Markdown is a lightweight markup language for generating html files

• It is not a what you see is what you get editor. (WYSIWYG)

• Instead it uses textual symbols to indicate the structure of the page

**For example:

”# This is a heading” »> This is a heading

• GitHub uses Markdown pretty much everywhere:

• Top level README.md files are auto-rendered

• Any other .md files

• Issues, comments, code reviews, etc…

Growth Mindset

Growth Mindset is a way of thinking to always have an avenue forward - never think that you have come to a deadend and know that with resolve you can keep moving forward.

1. Remember the bowl of popcorn: not every kernel pops at once, but they will all pop in their own time.
2. Remember at the end of the day I learned something new and still moved forward.
3. Never give up. Use the 15 minute rule. I can do this.
