Message dedicated to PSG (but with some interesting things for anyone)
you=PSG
I've reviewed what I've done so far with the PSG and I have a remark to do to myself.
I've never pushed you to make an effort and this is really bad as we all know that none can learn without effort. It's biologically impossible.
I apologize and this is my fix:
I'm asking you to create two documents, one in markdown
and one in asciidoc
and send it to me via email or telegram. Read instructions at the end of this message.
We are one lesson away from tackling GIT
. GIT is supercool and gives you super-powers but it's also much more complex than anything we've seen so far.
I will not start GIT until I get your documents :-D but you have 3 weeks to complete the task.
I'm not mean, it's just that if you can't master markdown
and asciidoc
you don't stand a chance with GIT. Hard truth.
During these 3 weeks we will finish the asciidoc
lesson (lesson 5 in your PDFs) and I'll be available to answer any question you'll have during this challenge. We'll meet weekly as usual.
For those of you who think that 3 weeks is a long time and plan to invest more energy in learning, a few ways to keep you busy:
LINUX STATION: if you have been charmed by the linux world, want to deepen it but you don't have a pc running it I offer you the opportunity to hit the ground running: buy a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 (this is a great offer ) and a cheap SSD (this works well), give me the SSD and I'll return it to you with a fully configured Debian Linux with Codium and GIT. You'll just have to plug it in your pc and enjoy the free ride with your study-dedicated linux station.
BASH: if you want to unleash the power of the terminal, learn Bash by STUDYING (not reading, studying!!) this super-short straight-to-the-point book . You need a linux pc for this.
DEBIAN: if you already master Bash and already have a linux station, dive into the extensive Debian Administrator's Handbook
About the two documents: I want you to study this page and write the same recap in two different documents, one in markdown
format, the other in asciidoc
. Both documents must contain:
- titles of different size
- paragraphs
- lists
- block of code (gray blocks of text)
- bold words
- italic words
- underline words
- strikeout words
- html links
For the braves:
- add one image to each document
- add a synoptic table recapping all the commands
