Basics of Markdown

Markdown is everywhere in a developer's world. GitHub READMEs, AI prompt responses. And if you're building apps that work with AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT, understanding Markdown is no longer optional. In this video, we walk through all the core Markdown syntax together so you'll have a solid reference you can come back to anytime.
