If you have finished the exercises, then start working on week 2! The first 3 weeks of this module cover all the basic building blocks of JavaScript and getting familiar with them is of the utmost importance!

 This is also the week we are going to start learning about best practices surrounding programming. These are general rules programmers follow so that code remains readable for others. The first will be about naming conventions, read more about that [here](https://study.hackyourfuture.net/#/programming/naming-conventions). It will mention the term `functions`, which you haven't learned about yet, but keep that in mind for next week when you will be introduced to them!
 
+We also want to start working on your personal brand in the coming weeks as it takes time to get this correct. In a couple of months we also want to start practicing interviews with some of our partner companies using your brand! So in the upcoming weeks have a look through the [personal brand repo](https://github.com/HackYourFuture/yourpersonalbrand). It will also be a nice break for your mind to do something completely different than programming :).

 ## Week goals
 This week is the last week of explaining all the basic building blocks that JavaScript offers for you to work with. The last one is called functions, read all about them [here](https://study.hackyourfuture.net/#/javascript/functions). Functions bring along with them a concept called the scope that you may have encountered a bit last week but we want to explicitely explain now.

 Now that you have learned all the basic blocks it is time to tell you about the different versions of JavaScript. JavaScript has been evolving over its lifetime and certain syntax has been added. Have a look in your study book at the topic of what is called 'Modern JS' [here](https://study.hackyourfuture.net/#/javascript/modern-js). Throughout the curriculum we will be expecting you to use the modern syntax as that is most likely what you will be programming in. There is also a section on the history of JavaScript in there, you do not need to know this but we recommend it if you have some time to spare as it is very interesting.

 Are you finished with going through the materials? Give yourself a pat on the back because you rock! It is time to combine everything you have learned and start practicing them vigorously. Have a look at the exercises [here](./MAKEME.md) and try to make as many of them as you can. This week there will be homework to do and hand in, so don't forget to do that!

 So you think you are a JavaScript superstar now huh? :wink:
 
 Once you have finished the homework there are a couple of things you can keep doing to improve your JavaScript and problem solving skills. Have a look at the following and come back to them later in the curriculum, it is never bad to do these exercises!
 
-- [Exercism](https://exercism.io/tracks/javascript)
-Exercism has a JavaScript track that has some nice exercises to practice your skills. The easy ones will be similar to what you have done the past weeks, but the hard ones may take some working together to fix.
 - [Project Euler](https://projecteuler.net/)
 Project Euler defines problems that you can use your new JavaScript knowledge to find solutions for. These start off doable with the knowledge you have now and will get more and more difficult. You can come back to it later if you get stuck, or ask your classmates! Whenever you have some time or want to practice problem solving this is a good place to go.
