[TECH ED] TV Show Project - Part 2/4 🔗 Clone

https://github.com/CodeYourFuture/JS3-Module-Project

Your goal this week is to complete level 400.

Reminder: You will need to be paired up with someone for this project.

That means:

  • Finishing anything from week 1 which isn’t finished
  • Achieving level 200 yourself in someone else’s repository
  • Discussing your different approaches with your pair, and making sure you’re both happy with each other’s code

Why are we doing this?

After learning new skills and concepts, it’s important to practice using this knowledge to check if you’ve understood everything properly. The tv show project will provide you with an opportunity to use your knowledge from JS1 and JS2 to create a website from scratch.
