Highcharts and JavaScript (Assignment 8)

This repo contains your assignment starter files, including the Highcharts code.

Highcharts code version: 6.2.0 (updated October 2018).

1. Fork this repo (make sure you are logged into GitHub).

2. Clone your new repo so you have it on your hard drive. Remember to save it into the folder where you are keeping all your GitHub projects for this course. If you forgot how to fork and clone, see this.

3. New branch: Use your GitHub Desktop app to create a local branch named gh-pages. Switch to that branch and do all your work in that branch. Note that the hyphen and all lowercase letters are essential in the branch name gh-pages. If you are confused about gh-pages or making a new branch, see the last two pages in this document.

You will NOT submit a pull request.

Instructions: How to complete the assignment

All instructions for the assignment are in this document.

The file test_check.html is finished.

The file first_chart.html is for your own first chart. You will modify this file.

Files you will not use in the assignment

• scripts_bottom.html demonstrates an alternative way to handle the JavaScript script elements, putting them at the bottom of the HTML file instead of in the HEAD. They must be ABOVE the closing body tag.

• scripts_bottom_external_chart.html is identical to scripts_bottom.html except in one respect: The code for the Highcharts chart is in an external file, my_chart_code.js, instead of being included in the HTML.

• test_check_alternate.html is identical to test_check.html except in one respect: test_check_alternate.html uses LOCAL files to load the Highcharts code. The other file (test_check.html) uses a CDN, meaning the Highcharts files it uses are online.

You can view any of the HTML files by simply opening them in your browser.

Commit and publish/push

When everything is finished, save all files, and commit and push (publish) to GitHub. Be sure to stay in your gh-pages branch for all steps. DO NOT forget to publish your repo! Remember, THREE STEPS are necessary:

1. Write a commit message (what you did)
2. Click the commit button (bottom)
3. Click the publish or push button (top)
