Welcome!
This is your copy of the code for this class. In one of the introductory videos, you'll learn how to keep this copy in your own Github account and run it in a "computer in the cloud" called a "codespace."
You'll also learn about starting and stopping your codespace, which I'm also going to note here for your reference later:
When you're done for the day ...
- Go to github.com/codespaces
- Click on the three dots in the row for "My class codespace"
- Click "Stop codespace"
Returning to work
- Go to github.com/codespaces
- Click right on the title: "My class codespace"

I use a Chrome broswer pluging called JSON Viewer to make my JSON files readable in the window.
