Using a story to teach the 'why' of JavaScript #108

Hi,

I helped mentor a NodeSchool a few weeks ago in Reno, NV. After the workshops, the mentors got together to compare notes and we noticed that a lot of people had the same questions and problems. One of the them was the for loop exercise that already has an issue on it. A lot of students had trouble understanding "why" they would use programming and the exercises only described the "how".

We came up with the idea of re-building the exercises but incorporating a running story to help give the "why" and also attempting to clean up some of the recurring misunderstandings that we saw.

Would you be interested in seeing this as a fork of this project? Or would it be better if I created a new project?

Thanks!
