Because

Lesson could see some improvement. This is the first lesson where learners are introduced to javascript. It should be a lot more beginner-friendly

A lot of these changes are subjective. Feel free to suggest certain changes to be reverted.

This PR

  • Grouped / removed many points in the Learning outcomes
    • I believe the current list is too long and could be intimidating to someone who has never heard about javascript before
  • Added a few examples here and there
  • Removed paragraph talking about the fact that JS can be run outside of browser
    • Learners wouldn't even know that it is possible to do so. Adds unnecessary complexity in my opinion
  • Lesson overview items are now statements instead of questions
  • Instructions on how to open the dev tools are improved
  • Moved many things to assignment
  • Removed an additional resource relating to var
    • learners would not know about scope, functions or control flow at this point
  • Many other small improvements
