This is how to get going with the course, to verify that you have all essentials in place and to verify that you can use them. Later assignments will build upon this assignment, so save the results in a safe place.

The objective is to learn how to use Git and GitLab and you will create a small website where you will write reports from the assignments all through the course.

You will touch upon the course topics like HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

As an extra assignment, try to make an appealing report page, to the best of your capacity. You will continue to work with this website all through the course so you can also improve it later on.

What is a TIL? TIL is an acronym for "Today I Learned" which playfully indicates that there are always new things to learn, every day. You usually pick up things you have learned and where you might have hiked to a little extra about its usefulness or simplicity, or it was just a new lesson for the day that you want to note.
