Wrapping Up: Key Takeaways and Next Steps#
Congratulations! You’ve reached the end of our course, Creating interactive content with Jupyter Books.
Throughout this course, we focused on achieving the following key goals:
Create content with markdown
Create your own online course or website using Jupyter Book
Host courses using GitHub Pages
Therefore, in the GitHub chapter, you learned the benefits of using GitHub, how to set up your GitHub account, and how to create your first online repository using our course template.
Next, you learned how to host your course website using GitHub Pages and how to troubleshoot common error warnings.
Finally, you explored the types of files you can integrate into your Jupyter Book and how to create them. You also learned the basics of formatting with Markdown, how to embed various media types, and how to include citations and feedback questions. Last but not least, you learned how to structure your course website with the table of contents file (_toc.yml).
We wish you the best of luck as you create your first course website and begin populating the pages. If you ever need advice or consultation, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our contact information can be found here: {doc}../../intro/overview.
