This workshop tackles development principles to get you on the right path, by looking at questions like, "Front-end vs. Back-end?", "Is UX necessary for my project?", "What is this JavaScript function thingy, and why am I passing it strange math equations?" About half of the workshop is spent looking at actual code and writing some basic JavaScript, HTML & CSS.
