Had a blast helping with coder evaluations @MSCodeAcademies today! This was their game project and boy they did not disappoint. These coders have only been writing JavaScript for two months and believe me they are doing better than I did two months into learning JS.

Screenshot of a MS Coding Academy themed trivia game. The questions are about HTML and CSS. Currently, the question is: What is the purpose of a CSS reset stylesheet? The possible answers are A: To clear browser caches, B: To reset default browser styles, C: To remove all CSS from a page, or D: To optimize CSS loading times.

Plus, every one of the coders today had their projects hosted to GitHub Pages. It sounds like a small thing but for them, having a live website they could share was huge.

The very funny and OG MagnoliaJS speaker @blakewatson talking about home cooked apps - things we build for ourselves to make our lives easier. Love the name, I know I’ve definitely cooked up apps for myself before. #MagnoliaJS
