Study Tips

expand/collapse
- Don't rush, understand! Programming is hard. - The examples and exercises will still be there to study later. - It's better to fail tests slowly and learn from your mistakes than to pass tests quickly and not understand why. - Don't skip the examples! Understanding and experimenting with working code is a very effective way to learn programming. - Write lots of comments in the examples and exercises. The code in this repository is yours to study, modify and re-use in projects. - Practice [Pair Programming](https://home.hackyourfuture.be/students/study-tips/pair-programming): two people, one computer. - Take a look through the [Learning From Code](https://home.hackyourfuture.be/students/study-tips/learning-from-code) guide for more study tips ### Study Board Creating a project board on your GitHub account for tracking your study at HYF can help you keep track of everything you're learning. You can create the board at this link: `https://github.com/your_user_name?tab=projects`. These 4 columns may be helpful: - **todo**: material you have not studied yet - **studying**: material you are currently studying - **to review**: material you want to review again in the future - **learned**: material you know well enough that you could help your classmates learn it

Code Quality Scripts

expand/collapse
This repository comes with some scripts to check the quality of this code. You can run these scripts to check the code provided by HYF, and to check the code you write when experiment with the examples and complete the exercises. ### `npm run format` This script will format all of the code in this repository making sure that all the indentations are correct, the code is easy to read, and letting you know if there are any syntax errors. ### `npm run format:check` Checks the formatting of all files in the repository and throws an error if any files are not well-formatted. ### `npm run spell-check` This script will check all of the files in your repository for spelling mistakes. Spelling is not just a detail, is important! Good spelling helps others read and understand your programs with less effort. `spell-check` is not so clever though, it doesn't have _all_ possible words in it's dictionary and it won't know if you _wanted_ to spell a word incorrectly. If you think one of it's "Unknown word"s is not a problem, you can either ignore the suggestion or add the word to the `"words": [ ... ],` list in [.cspell.json](./.cspell.json). ### `npm run lint:md` This script will [lint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lint_%28software%29) all the Markdown files in this repository, checking for syntax mistakes and other bad practices. Fixing linting errors will help you learn to write better code by pointing out your mistakes _before_ they cause problems in your program. Some linting errors will take some practice to understand and fix, but it will be a good use of time. ### `npm run lint:ls` & `npm run lint:css` This script will [lint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lint_%28software%29) the names of all files and folders in the project to check that they follow the project naming convention ([kebab-case](https://betterprogramming.pub/string-case-styles-camel-pascal-snake-and-kebab-case-981407998841)). ### `npm run validate:html` This script will [validate](https://webplatform.github.io/docs/guides/html_validation/) the HTML in this repsitory using [html-validate](https://gitlab.com/html-validate/html-validate).
