Projects

This course is structured into self-contained projects that you can work through at your own pace.

Each project has its own directory with a README.md file that has instructions. If you want to take a look at one way of completing an exercise, there's some code waiting on a branch prefixed impl/ (for "implementation") and an associated Pull Request for you to look at. Try not to copy!
