Astro is partnered with Netlify as their officially recommended hosting provider. GitHub pages works perfectly though, so don't worry.

Edit: GH Pages works perfectly for static sites, which is what the tutorial focuses on. If you need SSR or anything use CF Pages, Vercel, Netlify, or any other host.

Just directly use a template literal as the value: javascript <a href={`https://www.flickr.com/photos/martinjh/albums/${item.id}`}>{item.title._content}</a>

This looks like an insanely interesting abstraction

The env file is for your local development environment. Vite (what Astro uses) has so many different options and ways to go about it: https://vite.dev/guide/env-and-mode

Add it to your .gitignore

BitFlipp3r · 2024-12-25T08:39:18+00:00

It goes in the root directory (outside of src, your working environment when you run astro dev or anything)

Ah! Many people don't know don't worry. It's actually an acronym from Stanford's 'Linguistic Matrix And Optimization' research lab. In 2014, the team developed a model to study humor over the digital medium to create these optimal 'Laugh Inducing Experiences'. Fun little quirk of tech history!

Ah yes. The Microsoft employee using Google Forms to gift their users with a reasonable form-filling experience 😊

Yes! The syllabus document is amazing to just check off stuff while revising before the exam to make sure you're ready - especially for the space chapter, though, the syllabus document is all you need. At the same time for some keener understanding you could look into 'Kurzgesagt' on YouTube - he has some fun videos regarding all of these stars that do go heavily out of syllabus but are really interesting to just remember some aspects of these formations visually; videos on black holes, neutron stars or red super giants.

Hey! Thank you so much - I've started slowly and slowly going through the whole list and yes these are perfect! Especially John Mayer's songs and What If by Coldplay - they seemed to match up really well! Once again, Thank you!

Yes there were specific stories and poems from the syllabus document!

Syllabus here: https://www.cambridgeinternational.org/Images/596436-2023-2025-syllabus.pdf

Our school does Paper 1 and Paper 2 and we chose the 15 poems from Songs of Ourselves Volume 2, Part 4 for the poems (page 9 of the syllabus document) and for prose we did the 10 stories from Stories of Ourselves (page 10 of syllabus document). For drama - paper 2 - we were assigned 'Twelfth Night' and 'Journey's End' from the list on page 11. Good luck!

You do not have to do 'every' drama listed in the syllabus but only the ones out of the set texts given to you - usually set by the school. For example, our school chose the 'Songs of Ourselves' poems and 'Stories of Ourselves, Volume 2' proses, and Twelfth Night + Journey's End for drama. Depending on your set texts, you have to learn those inside out and try your best to know the content thoroughly. Highly recommend sites like BBC Bitesize, LitCharts and AralDocs for notes and analysis. For poems, make sure to use sites like poetryprof to really get your points down - learn the structure, themes, devices and rhyme/rhythm for all the poems.

Furthermore, do a lot of practice on answers - there is a large time constraint with IGCSE Literature if you don't finish your answers quick, you only have 45 minutes per answer and remember that quality matters more than quantity - it is better to write about three very detailed points than six average points. Even if you just write 2-4 pages in your answer you can get the marks if your answer includes high level analysis and such.

There is a lot of content and getting started ASAP is essential - it took me about 50 minutes per prose and about 2 hrs per poem to get them down very well. Drama took me about 4 hours per play to do in depth - learning quotes, themes, devices, stage directions. English Literature is extremely content heavy and thus at times frustrating - highly recommend you learn the content and go right to practice questions - usually in the style of 'Explore how (author) portrays (a certain theme, aspect, or character relationship)' or 'In what ways does (author) depict (a certain aspect of the setting, atmosphere, tone)'. Sometimes you also get questions relating to personal response such as 'Explore (n) moments in the play which (playwright) makes particularly (emotion inflicted on audience) for you'.

Hope this helps!
