Alternative readings, instead of MDM and SpeakinJS#54
Merged
Conversation
As replacement to MDM and speakingjs webpage(too compicated), I thought it would be a good idea to replace them with our own documentation on the topics we discuss that week. These links are now considered Bonus material, but I think it's good that are obliged to read up on the topics that will be discussed in class, so that the teachings actually stick better with the students.

Even if the title of this PR says Alternative Reading this PR doesn't provide any additional value.
I would rather close it.

Both resources are very far from beginner friendly and clearly suppose previous coding experiences.
Example of a sentence used in these resources:
"javaScript contains a standard library of objects, such as Array, Date, and Math, and a core set of language elements such as operators, control structures, and statements. Core JavaScript can be extended for a variety of purposes by supplementing it with additional objects"
As the level of English of some of our students is limited, and many have no background in programming, I think these resources are mostly just having students read information that they are not yet ready to process, and mostly will leave them confused. There are much better resources (that we have written ourselves) that explain it much better, and that we don't link to in the reading material of this week. (I have created a seperate pull request for this.
