I am reading the [Adobe.io](http://Adobe.io) docs and looking at this example code they supply

```
document.querySelector(".yourCheckbox").addEventListener("change", evt => {
console.log(`Is the checkbox checked: ${evt.target.checked}`);

```

})

In the code under the console.log I am not familiar with this ` (some sort of back slant character).

Can anyone tell me what it is and how I can produce it on a Mac keyboard

Do you mean the ` backtick? It’s under the ~ (tilde) in the far upper left next to the 1. Apparently it’s also called a back quote…
