Text

I am editing the chapters following the first iteration of the course.

• All chapters have received an initial read-through
• Debugging tips have moved out of the Preliminaries
• Clipping moved from Chapter 10 to Chapter 2
• The Preliminaries should install Python
• Chapter 3 should implement multiple text sizes
• Chapter 4 needs to motivate attributes
• Chapter 5
• Chapter 7 should add forward buttons
• Chapter 8 needs minor edits
• Chapter 10 needs to fix a major bug
• Chapter 11 must remove the straw-man insecure implementations

Code

I plan to have “gold-standard” code for each chapter.

• Code for chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4 edited
• Code for chapters 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 not yet edited
• Chapter 8 needs to abstract over finding elements
• Chapter 9 needs to split the JS environment from the browser
• Chapter 10 needs to be more uniform and clearer
• I plan a cleaned-up, “final” browser as an appendix

Website

The website is up, but in a minimal form.

• Domain name purchased and set up, and TLS enabled
• The site scores well on page speed tests
• Feedback system for typos and comments deployed
• Server logs set up, but not deeper analytics
• No work on accessibility

I have barely begun branding and styling the website.

• Brand and font choices drafted
• Styling is still very minimal
• Web page does not have a coherent visual identity
• Mobile experience rudimentary

Marketing

• There is now a signup form run by Mailchimp
• There is now a book Twitter
• I posted about the book on my personal account
• The book has not yet done well on HN
• The book has not been posted to proggit

Content

I plan tests, exercises, screenshots, and “Go further” links.

• Each chapter has five exercises
• There are currently no tests
• Screenshots not begun
