::: expandable "A Quick Excel File"
This is a relatively easy assignment. Open up a Spreadsheet program like Excel or Google Sheets. Choose 5 books that you have lying around the house and put them into your spreadsheet. Come up with at least 10 columns with headers and populate them with your 5 books.

Create a folder in your repo called `Other Materials` and save your spreadsheet in there and check it in with your Week 2 commits

:::expandable "Jump Into `Learn BoxLang`"

This week's work involves starting to learn the programming Language we are going to be using in this class which is called BoxLang. For Week 2, don't worry about the section called `Data` but try to get through the rest.

Save everything in your week 2 branch. When you're done. Check it into Github.
