✍🏻 Homework
You are going to create a new simple web app, with ChatGPT's help.
- Log in to ChatGPT. Ask it to generate some code for a new app. You can begin by asking it something like: “Generate an html snippet for an app that does….”
- ChatGPT might give you two (or more) pieces of code for different files. If it does, ask it to provide a single snippet of code.
- To test your code, go to the HTML / JavaScript Tester.
- Click on “Show your output” at the top of the screen.
See and test your result in the lower right corner. - Does it work? Want to make it even better? Go back to ChatGPT and instruct it on any changes you’d like.
- Repeat until you’re happy with your app.
- Once you’re done, post your code on the Slack #show-your-work channel.
Please let me know if you have any questions. The easiest way is to message me on Slack.
