20. DESIGN PRINCIPLES 🍰 Start with cake ‣ Open today’s demo project ‣ Render the document and discuss the results with your neighbor ‣ Then, change Turkey to a different country, and plot again
21. DESIGN PRINCIPLES 🍰 Start with cake With great examples, comes a great amount of code… but let’s focus on the task at hand… ‣ Open today’s demo project ‣ Knit the document and discuss the results with your neighbor ‣ Then, change Turkey to a different country, and plot again
