1 - NPM Install Progressive Enhancement 🛹

Progressive Enhancement is usually explained with the metaphor of an escalator. Heydon Pickering published a brief video about Progressive Enancement in his WEBBED BRIEFS Is progressive enhancement dead yet?. Very funny indeed. In the video he uses the skateboard/scooter analogy to explain the concept of PE.

For their first assignment students have visualised the concept of Progressive Enhancement using a self-invented metaphor.
