 In the meantime you can get a head start with the curriculum to increase your chances of completing the course by continuing to learn. Have a look at the following resources that will help build your knowledge and make the next steps a lot easier. There is no particular order in these, see what you enjoy best and remember to code as much as possible yourself!
 
 - [Responsive Web Design](https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/2022/responsive-web-design/) - You can finish off the responsive web design course and get your first certificate!
-- [The JavaScript 30 by Wes Bos](https://javascript30.com/) - JavaScript30 is a great set of tutorials that build simple frontend applications using HTML/CSS/JavaScript!
-- [Code Wars](https://www.codewars.com/) - Code wars is a website where you can solve exercises and rank up! When signing up, only choose JavaScript to really focus the problems on learning to solve problems in it. You can later change it to other technologies when you get more familiar.

 2. `MAKEME`: this document contains the instructions for each week's practical side. Start with the exercises rather quickly, so that you can ground the concepts you read about earlier.
 
 We provide a subset of materials that touches on all the concepts we would like you to learn and do. This is enough for some, but not for others. It is up to you to define what you need more information on. If you do need more information, you can search the internet for more explanations. Luckily there is a lot of information out there, so it should not be too hard to find something that fits your learning style!

+##### Codepen
+
+[CodePen](https://www.codepen.io) is an online code editor and development environment that allows you to write and experiment with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It provides a live preview of the code as you type so it is great for playing around with some code when building a website.

 By now you've had some practice with CSS. In the following sections you'll learn about some more essentials concepts in order to make sure that your webpages are responsive! In the modern age webpages are being accessed by many different devices with many different screen sizes which means that you as the developer need to write your CSS to support all those devices.

 ## 1. Functions
 
 Currently all code you have written only happens once when you run your file, but we want to write code that reacts to certain events. To do that we can define functions that allow you to group lines of code and run them whenever you want. Have a look how this works over [here](https://study.hackyourfuture.net/#/javascript/functions).
