This site is the course’s memory — every class, concept, task, and practice set lives here. Five habits make it fast to use.

The five habits

  1. Land on today. The home page always surfaces the most recent class, so “what did we do?” and “what is due?” are one click from anywhere. Absent? Start there before asking anyone.
  2. Search first. Press Cmd + K on a Mac or Ctrl + K on Windows and type any word — “loop”, “phishing”, “quiz”. Search reads every page at once; it is nearly always faster than navigating.
  3. Hover before you click. Rest your pointer on any link like this one and a preview of the target page pops up. You can often confirm a definition without ever leaving the page you are reading.
  4. Read the backlinks. At the bottom of each page, Backlinks lists every page that links to this one. On a concept page, that is an instant map of where the idea gets used — the site’s web, walked backwards.
  5. Predict before you unfold. Practice pages in Exercises fold their answers away — click the callout and it expands. The fold is a tool, not a lock: commit to your own answer first, then open it. Peeking first feels efficient and teaches nothing.

Where things live

The map of folders — Concepts, Tasks, Exercises, and the rest — is on How This Site Is Organised. The full feature tour, including a few tricks this page skips, is on What This Site Can Do. Ten minutes with those two pages in week one repays itself all course.
