General requirements

2. Styling: it's up to you, but remember to make it readable. Using markdown is a good idea.

3. Reading: for each article you are required to read please post the answers to the following questions in your respective repo. Don't worry, your answers will not be graded. It's just a way to reflect on what you have learned.

• name (at least) one thing that was new to you
• name (at least) one thing that surprised you
• name (at least) one thing you will use in the future

4. Online courses: finish all tasks, make screenshots and post them in respective task's README.

P.S. If you are willing to participate in the course, you need to understand that you’ll spend a lot of time building something big together - a new way of learning and collaborating. You’ll become part of a small family and should prepare yourself to find new friends and to invest a lot in this friendship, as in any friendship should be. Final part of this course will be to split a parts and create news courses like that (and we’ll never stop).
