I wouldn't be the most appropriate to review the contents of this PR/lesson but a couple of comments.

@BryanF1nes:

  • Our headings need to be in sentence case instead of title case.
  • I'd want to look at the "optional reading" section and consider if that's something that's worth integrating into the main lesson content/assignment itself, or if it can be dropped given the scope of the lesson and the existing content. It's basically and "Additional resource" but not by that name (heading structure not carried over).

For whoever reviews this in more depth, I wonder if this is actually appropriate as a project. I'm not seeing anything particularly project-y about this contents, and so it may be best converted to a lesson, which would mean adding "Lesson overview" and "Knowledge check" sections as appropriate, changing the name of this file, then going to the website repo to change the appropriate details in the db fixtures.
