New Lessons on Practical Uses for CSS Properties & Welcoming M.A.C.E. students

7th July 2024 - 13th July 2024

Let's look at what we worked on in BigBinary Academy during the week of 7th July 2024 to 13th July 2024.

CSS Course Update

This week, we added more examples for the flex-grow property. Learners have always expressed a need for more practice for flex-grow in our workshops. Next, we added a lesson showing a practical use for flex-direction and another lesson showing a practical use of the rem unit. Practical use cases help learners gain clarify why any property should be studied in the first place.

HTML and Python Course Updates

We have added a lesson and a challenge on the benefits of using divs in your HTML layout. Note that a lesson about using divs for styling your CSS already exists in our CSS course.

Finally, we included a lesson on the sorted function in Python. Take a look!

Added a new Batch

We have added a new batch of students from Mar Athanasius College to the workshop. We welcome all the 24 learners who are joining the BigBinary Academy Workshop. They will spend 4+ hours daily working on BigBinary Academy. We look forward to working with them.
