Extra info

  • This activity builds on everything we have learned so far...
  • some of the stuff I used to make this website is in the second lecture, don't worry about it yet.
  • focus on the localStorage tasks I have above and it will make sense at the end of the Module 6
  • items.json holds examples of store items, we learned about JSON in lecture its an important concept to become familiar with
