  1. Challenge

    Get Started in the Lab Environment

    Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!

  2. Challenge

    Perform Static Analysis with a Python Linter

    You’ll examine a Python file that runs just fine, but has some room for improvement, and then execute a Python linter to lay out what those opportunities are.

  3. Challenge

    Correct Code to Satisfy the Python Linter

    You'll review the results of the analysis and find a particular problem listed therein. You will then find the problem in the code, make an adjustment, and then re-run the analysis to verify that the problem has been resolved.

  4. Challenge

    Perform Static Analysis on JavaScript with ESLint

    You'll execute ESLint against a JavaScript file, review the results, and disable analysis of a single line of code.

  5. Challenge

    Correct Code to Satisfy the JavaScript Linter

    You'll execute ESLint against a JavaScript file, and use "autofix" to correct the problems.
