carlos thanks for the answer I was going crazy
Ok so im a noob at programming the only thing i knew prior was just a simple command for getting my Wifi passwords that i forgot, netsh wlan show profile ( wifi name ) key=clear and wallah. so learning HTML requires some creativity to make the information more understandable for example in my notes the way i classified a opening and closing tag is that there just periods.
it signifies the start of a sentence and the end.
so im enjoying making the information more understandable on a personal level. i have the actual definition and then my dumb down version lol, just wanted to share.

Hi Ivan, love this course.
Just made my page and started trying things.
Ran into a snag… when making my link to a page https://digitalik.net/btc/
Inserted into my code line
go to digitalik
My browser showed
about:blank#blocked
What is the reason for this?
Since I made many lists and sometimes gave them different names than the web site titles and they worked…
Thanks!
Oh man. Im still very excited and hungry for this but damn…
WTF is this about? lol(laugh with me)
Not sure how important this is??
Also, how is your font red and automatically populates options. Im interested in those tools if they beenfit the skill here.
Hey everyone, just getting started with this course. Question for both instructors and students, what OS are you using, do you have a preference, and why?
I actually have a VM installed with Xubuntu and Ubuntu that I got in preparation for JS class on Udemy, but haven’t done much with either yet since I will be doing this class instead. I know devs tend to work in Linux or macOS because of the console and most servers run Linux/Unix. Instructors, do you recommend getting used to Linux from the get-go, or does this matter nowadays? I want to do things as legit as possible.
Hello @theRealLos, hope you are great.
I do advice to use linux for the courses because most of the tools are built on linux and then ported to windows or mac, so basically they are more compatible on linux (few words: you will face less OS issues)… what i have is a VM for linux (or many, like 1 for EOS courses, other for Ethereum only), all code is backed up on my github account, i do have some share folders between them so i code in windows, apply directly to the webserver to check the changes…
Is not about completely do thing legit as possible, more likely to made the learning curve easy for you (because you will find less weird OS issues in linux than the others)
If you have any more questions, please let us know so we can help you!

Hi @thecil, thanks for your answer!
To dig a little deeper, what distro/s are you using? And what kind of VM? I have the Oracle VM and performance is kind of OK when running Xubuntu and a little slow with Ubuntu. Last night I also installed WSL2 and Ubuntu, which is a much lighter way of running it than the Oracle VM VirtualBox, but I feel like maybe I’m cheating a little 
WSL2 runs Linux with just the terminal. What do you recommend in this case? Is there any advantage in terms of the things you mention to boot a Linux VM with GUI and working from inside of that? Or is the WSL2 VM good? I assume the tools you mention are things like git that you download and install via command line? I’m happy to do either and interested in what you use personally.
I just use ubuntu 18.04 (desktop and server versions), just for research, some times i use ubuntu GUI (desktop version), other time i have use the server version to learn how to deploy nodes or software just through the CLI.
About WSL2 VM, it could be painfull some times, what i use is VMWorkstation from VMware. Also i have my server with VM EsXi, to virtualize the entire server for different use cases on VMs.

Thank you. I started a clean xubuntu VM. It just bugs me that it’s a little laggy, not enough to be a real problem but you know how we like things to be as fast as possible 
I will give it a shot.
Hi everyone. I have a question for anyone who can answer. In Ivan’s video (as well as the Harvard Lecture) there was a case to insert /> at the end of the coding for an HTML image. The thing is when I inserted the slash the image was gone. When I removed the slash and just had > then the image appeared. Am I doing something wrong?
Greetings @JCrypto
Could you provide a screenshot of what issue you are facing and the code along with it? This will help us decipher the issue as soon as possible.

Code line 24, after <img src= you should lock the source with quotes “”, basically you are missing 1 quote " at the beginning of your source link.

Do we need to read that programmingbook “Eloquent javascript.” before starting the course??
If you want to have a deep fundamental on JavaScript, yes you should, there are some lessons that require you to read the chapter in order to do the assignment. If you do know a lot about JavaScript, the book is just an extra, but for those who do not know about programming, the book is enough to give you a deep understanding on JavaScript.
