Level 1 JavaScript skills
Part 1 covers the foundation skills you need to get started with JavaScript. This learning involves working your way through the skills below. Once you have completed all the skills, get the teacher to check your work and you can start part one of the project to show that you are ready to carry on with learning more complex Javascript skills.
For Part 1 JavaScript skills you must use GitHub Codespaces
You will work through the exercises in this repository
Use the link your teacher will give you to the GitHub Classroom assignment
