Getting started
This file contains instructions for completing today's lesson. It is written in a language called "markdown", which allows plain text to be easily converted into nicely formatted webpages like the one you're looking at now. But we'll come back to this.
To complete this lesson, follow the instructions below.
Warning
It is even more important than usual to read and follow instructions when it comes to computers and programming. We will be interacting with our computers using procedural language - that is, language that follows a strict set of procedures. Skipping steps or doing things out of order can lead to unexpected results.
