Sprint 1
Git, GitHub, Command Line, HTML, CSS, and Identity
In this sprint you will learn the core tools every developer uses daily: the command line, Git, and GitHub. You will set up your own blog using HTML and CSS, use a chatbot as a learning tool, and complete your first assessed Git workflow. You will also begin the Human Skills curriculum — exploring your values, identity, and how you learn best.
