# Q&A

* What's `.md` stand for?  [Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/) (as opposed to markup- get it?).  Here's another [cheatsheet](http://assemble.io/docs/Cheatsheet-Markdown.html)
* List indices
* Filename bug in trinket.  At least 2 ways around.

# Escape Velocity

My goal for all of you is to get you into orbit, able to keep learning on your own and
ready for a wide range of new technologies.  Let's recalibrate what success means.

# Today

We're doing more chapter 8 exercises, but more importantly we're learning
a technique called **pair programming**.  This is both a real technique used
by professional programmers and a learning strategy that's been shown to
improve outcomes.  Double win!

# Q & A

* `Ctrl-/` is your friend
* If you use something from StackExchange, it's your responsibility to know how it works.
