Welcome to the Project

This module is your orientation before implementation starts.

You will first get the project running and look at the finished visual interface. Then you will inspect the files that make up the project and identify the DOM elements that JavaScript will eventually control.

You will also examine the three workflow columns and the task form. From those pieces, you will define the information one task needs to store.

What to expect

There are four short lessons after this introduction:

Download and open the project.
Understand the project structure.
Read the board and form structure.
Plan the task data.

There is intentionally very little JavaScript in this module. The purpose is to understand the starting point before changing it.

By the end of this module

You should be able to:

run the project in your browser
explain the role of the main project files
identify the DOM elements representing columns and task areas
identify the fields that make up a task
explain how a task’s status relates to a Kanban column

What comes next

Module 2 begins the actual application logic. You will create task state and progressively make JavaScript render the board from that state.
