Demystifying Markdown

Markdown is one of the cleanest and easiest forms of writing rich–text content. Believe me. Once you learn the trick, you’ll wonder why you didn’t know about this before. With Markdown, you can go from writing simple readme files (that looks amazing, by the way!) to creating your own website/blog.

In this class, you’ll learn GitHub flavored Markdown (GFM) – a slightly more powerful version of regular Markdown – and by the end, you would have also created a one–pager website. Doesn’t that sound exciting?

Anyone who is keen to expand their horizon and is up for a new challenge is welcome to tune in to this class. No previous experience is necessary (even if you’re not from the software industry, seriously).

Follow along each class module to learn a new concept of GitHub flavored Markdown and get one step closer to building a one–pager website. Think of this as a puzzle. Each class module will provide you with one piece of the puzzle and once you’ve put it all together, you would get an awesome website that you’ve built using something as simple as Markdown.

Please do share your class project (i.e., a one–pager website of either yourself or a celebrity) with this class.
