  3. We will review:
    1.  IDE (integrated development environment)
      1. IDE's have line numbers to help you organize your code and discuss code with friends
      2. Syntax highlighting is a way of coloring different reserved words so they are easier to read
      3. Syntax highlighting also helps you identify errors
      4. Autocomplete will help you by filling in functions, variables, and other identified names, so you don't have to type the whole thing (and avoid misspelling)

Our Big idea

The big idea for today is Web science.

The essential questions for this topic are:

What is the web, really? How is the web made? How do we design and build web-based applications?

It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to
learn more about web science (which is connected to today's daily note), please click here .

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
