This site is the course’s memory. Every class, concept, task, and practice set lives here, and five habits make it fast to use.
The five habits
- Land on today. The home page always shows the most recent class, so “what did we do?” and “what is due?” are one click from anywhere. If you were away, start there before asking anyone.
- Search first. Press ⌘ + K on a Mac or Ctrl + K on Windows and type any word — “loop”, “traceback”, “client”. Search reads every page at once and is nearly always faster than navigating.
- Hover before you click. Rest your pointer on a link like this one and a preview of the target page appears. You can confirm a definition without losing your place.
- Read the backlinks. At the bottom of every page, Backlinks lists every page that links to this one. On a concept page that is an instant map of where the idea gets used — the site’s web, walked backwards.
- Predict before you unfold. Practice pages fold their worked answers away. The fold is a tool, not a lock: commit to your own answer first, then open it. Peeking feels efficient and teaches nothing, which Predict the Output will keep reminding you.
Where things live
The map of the folders — Concepts, Tasks, Exercises, and the rest — is on How This Site Is Organised. The full feature tour, including several tricks this page skips, is What This Site Can Do. Ten minutes with those two pages in week one repays itself all course.
Copy code by reading it
Every code block has a copy button in the corner. Use it for long examples you are about to modify — and ignore it for short ones. Typing a five-line program yourself catches mistakes your eyes glide straight past.
