😄 , Nice initiative by Microsoft for Beginner Web Developers, Thanks all for the hard work. Small feedback: Text based tutorials are easy to follow than videos. But I can see the tutorials are in Github repo , it would be easy to follow if you could move the content from Github repo to Microsoft Learn page, so that the learners can track their progress and move forward. This is how freecodecamp.org and educative.io does.

hi, thank you for the feedback! For the moment, you can use this repo with GitHub Classroom, and probably in the near future these tutorials will indeed end up as a learning path on Microsoft Learn :)

hi, if you look here github.com/microsoft/Web-Dev-For-B... there are some instructions. You will need to fork the whole repo and then rearrange each lesson into its own repo on your own GitHub account. After that, you can create assignments via GitHub Classroom linked to a repo. Let me know how it goes!

This is self-driven content; you can fork the repo and work through the included lessons. Take a look, see if it makes sense. The table of contents is in the base README file; lessons are linked there.

A few additions!

Quizzes have been moved to their own app so you can take them more easily

We now support at lest seven languages due to community translation efforts! Japanese and Korean in particular are fully complete, with Hindi and Italian coming along very well! Please stay tuned and consider supporting our translation efforts!
