  				  					              Anyone can code, if they put their mind to it! This week in Brittany's journey, she'll go over how to use CSS for responsive design. Cascading Style Sheets are the frosting on the cake, making everything look nice, and responsive design makes your website look good on both desktop and mobile. You can read all about her adventures here. Missed last week's post on the basics of CSS? Check it out!  					  				  			
  			
  				  					data Abstract curriculum =    				  			
  			
  				  					             Every programming language allows you to store data. Data can be observed as numbers in the form of integers, text in the form of strings. Sometimes though, you need more ways to observe, and store information. That's where abstract data comes in. Use our new curriculum to teach your class, or yourself, about how to create linked lists, and optimize binary trees. If this sounds interesting to you, you can find our abundance of resources here.   					  				  			
  			
  				  					Python <- C.parser  				  			
  			
  				  					              When I first saw this post, my mind was blown. Not just did this person design and recreate the Python language in C, they did it without any third party libraries. They built their own parser, and even took the time to add their own flair to their version of Python. Consistently @fuzzyastrocat creates amazing Repl Talk apps, so be sure to give their Repl Talk post an upvote. Which is better, Python 3, or @fuzzyastrocat's Python?

  				  					And now, it's time to conclude the Repl.it newsletter. I hope you enjoyed it, and maybe learned something you didn't know before. But before you go, we've made some changes to how anonymous repls are run. If you're someone who often uses repls without logging in, be sure to read our article on what changes we made, and why. Thank you once again for reading, and we hope you have a great rest of your week. See you around, Repler.
