Note from Mike: Please do be sure to give enough attention to last week’s HTML and CSS Introduction. It is a core part of your understanding. I recommend completing that before tackling Git or JavaScript this week - it’s really the most important foundation for your training. The Google Home page assignment from that course will be due this week.

two in-line tests, and two assesments to complete at the end.
