This notebook is an outcome of the Primer and Primer Pro sequence, but needs to go a little further.

#Template

Is it possible to provide students with a template site that they can fork with the following characteristics:

  • little or no styling but uses CSS
  • Basic navigation to major sections: HTML, CSS, JS, glossary
  • Stores glossary and cards in a free-plan Apigee backend
  • able to add new glossary terms with a simple, ugly form
  • able to add new cards with a simple ugly form
  • includes basic Selenium tests for glossary term and card creation
Could this be based on Stephanie's work for the class and extended by Al?

Each week, students would add to the notebook Week 1: convert old styles to SASS, add hover effects to cards week 2: Create flip cards with CSS transitions and animations week 3: improve form usability

Each of these exercises should reinforce thematic work and should take 2-5 hours to accomplish for the average student.

Data model:

Glossary: word: string definition: paragraph
