Markdown Course LIVE on Scrimba

Markdown allows us to write HTML in a quick and fluid way.
We use this on the regular for our code reviews, comment sections and README files again and again.

Not bolded bolded 1 bolded 2
Not italic italic 1 italic 2
Not strikethrough ~~strikethrough 1~~

At first glance the importance of Markdown may not seem all that important. You would be ~~right~~ wrong! Readability in your PRs and being able to communicate your point clearly and cleanly is crucial. It's not uncommon for engineers to create documents ahead of time to their team members for future features on apps that support Markdown to get their point across!

"Get Good, Get Great, Get Better" - Dylan Israel

Scrimba really is the perfect platform for teaching something like Markdown. The interactive challenges and custom technology has been designed with this in mind.

“To achieve this, we’ve created a new video format for code screencasts. We call it “scrims”.

List item 1
List item 2
List item 3

Unordered list 1
Unordered list 2
Unordered list 3

I personally have been really impressed with the screencast functionality. It has 3 main pieces which make it stand out:

Pausing the screencast and having selectable code that can be ran and played with.
File size being typically 1% of a normal video file.
The free availability of anyone who wants to use their screencasts for demos can and share them with their friends and colleagues.
