       So I’m teaching a friend who doesn’t have any development knowledge how to get started with Small Web development and I thought it would be a good opportunity to start creating and sharing the course on the Kitten web site, one lesson at a time.So here’s the link:https://kitten.small-web.org/courseIt’s a work in progress that I’ll be adding to along with our lessons but the draft of the first one, on setting up your development environment (which I whipped up in the pub last night, so expect typos) is here:https://kitten.small-web.org/course/setting-up/Please feel free to follow along and file issues if you have thoughts for improvements, etc.The Setting Up lesson will actually likely end up being the second one with the first being a theoretical one on Small (peer-to-peer) Web development and how it is similar to and differs from Big (centralised) Web development.Enjoy!💕#SmallWeb #Kitten #SmallTech #web #dev #course #education #HTML #CSS #JavaScript #NodeJS

       @aral When I first teach students how to make a link in HTML, I Rick-roll them with the link I demo (which I don't tell them what the link is when I paste it in). I mention that for no reason ;-)

       @aral is Brew on Linux actually a thing?

       @aral Hi Aral, I didn't get why we should install a different terminal on top of the one already included in the OS. (Disclaimer: I'm a total beginner)

       @polarweasel Thank you, good feedback. I definitely want low TTHW (or TTK) ;)

       @polarweasel (I’ll likely push the git section to Lesson 2, when we start to edit the hello, world, as you suggested.)

       @aral I thought flatpak is the way to go (with an annoying issue that all apps are started with 'flatpak ...')

       @aral And you’re a wonderful teacher! Especially with how patient you are in your problem-solving skills, and having to work around a 10 year old computer that threw a wrench in almost all of your plans 😅🫣 Kitten prevailed! 🐱

       @giuseppegv It’s more of a want than a need. The default terminal will work well enough but might not be as enjoyable (eg., it might not display emojis or programmer fonts properly or have the ability to split panes, etc.)
