Getting Set Up

There are a few things you need to ensure you have installed, in order to be ready for this course.

Node.js

You’ll need a relatively recent version (v4.5 or newer, latest stable version ideally) of node.js installed. On OS X, a great way of doing this without disturbing your existing dev environment is to install NVM. Installation instructions are here.

You’ll know everything is set up properly when you can run

nvm --version # might look like "0.31.4"
node --version # might look like "v7.7.3"

Visual Studio Code

Particularly if you’ve never tried it before, you should install Microsoft Visual Studio Code. Some fantastic extensions that I use regularly include

• vscode-icons
• Sublime Text Keymap - Install if you’re used to sublime text keyboard shortcuts

Check out and setup the project for this workshop

git clone [email protected]:mike-works/seo-workshop.git
cd seo-workshop
npm install

How to use it

Use the run command to launch an exercise

./run --exercise <exercise name>

License

While the general license for this project is the BSD 3-clause, the exercises themselves are proprietary and are licensed on a per-individual basis, usually as a result of purchasing a ticket to a public workshop, being a participant in a private training, or having a Front End Masters membership.

Here are some guidelines for things that are OK and NOT OK, based on our understanding of how these licenses work:

OK

• Using everything in this project other than the exercises (or accompanying tests) to build a project used for your own free or commercial training material
• Copying code from build scripts, configuration files, tests and development harnesses that are not part of the exercises specifically, for your own projects
• As an owner of an individual license, using code from tests, exercises, or exercise solutions for your own non-training-related project.

NOT OK (without express written consent)

• Using this project, or any subset of exercises contained within this project to run your own workshops
• Writing a book that uses the code for these exercises
• Recording a screencast that contains one or more of this project's exercises
