Markdown is a simplified way of getting information onto a page without any design thrills.
It's clean. It's obvious. And it saves you OODLES of time in documenting your code.
Read through the mastering Markdown guide on github.
You'll be working every day in Sublime Text!
Read through and practice these Sublime shortcuts!
Focus on being able to split your Sublime windows, jump between tabs, select, comment, and delete lines!
This will test your ability to read documentation, while teaching you how to use Markdown and test your Sublime and terminal commands.
Remember, this is a cheatsheet, not an exhaustive reference.
Include only the commands you feel you'll use often. Here's an example.
If you want a markdown editor, we recommend MacDown.
Create cheatsheets for:
- Bash (the Command Line)
- Git
- Sublime Text
Create a folder in your in your ~/code/wdi called cheatsheets and name
them bash_cheatsheet.md, for example.
Gists are a great way to share work or small notes.
Read through creating gists.
Try turning your cheatsheets into gists!
