Week 5: 3/1 + 3/3

Week 5

Before Class: Learn

Do this before Monday

This week we start on the LinkedIn Learning Course we will follow: Building Serverless Apps with JAMStack and Eleventy. Each week we will watch some of the videos and then work through issues and questions in class. I’ll preface course videos with Course Video. Sometimes I’ll link to a collection and others I’ll link to individual videos.

Prof Stein Videos: These two go over Forking, Cloning and Branching in Git and Github. It’s not mandatory, but they will help with working with the exercise files in the videos. We will go over this in class on Monday.

Forking and Cloning [4m 35s]
How to Fork and Clone the Class Files [7m 44s]
Working with Branches [18m ]

Building Serverless Apps with JAMStack and Eleventy

Course Video (Collection): Eleventy Introduction

Course Files

All of the files for the site are in a GitHub Repository. The two Prof Stein videos above help you know how to do some things with Git and Github that will aid working with the videos. But don’t worry about it too much. They’re just files. They can always be downloaded and created again. Focus on using them and experimenting and learning.

View GitHub Repository

You should Fork and Clone this repository to download it to your computer.

Free Recall / Brain Dump
The purpose of this exercise is to have you try to recall what you know and don’t know.

It’s not a test. If you can’t remember something it will NOT change your score.

You have two topics. Write down as much as you can about each. The purpose here is for you to try to remember information.

DO NOT LOOK AT YOUR NOTES!! The point here is for you to try to remember as much as you can. This will help you learn more later and know what areas you need to work on. The whole thing should not take more than 10 minutes.

More information on the learning science here: https://www.retrievalpractice.org/strategies/2017/free-recall
Write down three or more things that you know about getting the Example Eleventy Course project up and running.*
Be as detailed as you can from getting the files through implementing in Visual Studio Code. That said, if you only vaguely know something then write what you vaguely know.
Write down two or more items you want to learn more deeply or need more information about.*
Focus these items on the process of getting Eleventy up and running. It can be related items/questions about parts of the process (Node, Git, GitHub, Eleventy, JavaScript, JSON…)
