Introduction to the command line Introduction to file formats and filesystems Solving the mystery of special characters Understanding how the Internet works behind the browser Things you ought to know about your (Mac / Windows / Linux) operating system Where to go for help and how to understand the answers

Abstract

Day 1 Install needed software to be used as terminal and code editor Start to become familiar with typing commands at the prompt of your computer's shell Make a note of all the error and informational messages you encounter along the way Start to become familiar with how problems are communicated by computer programs Day 2 Understand what regular expressions are for and when and why they are useful Learn the basic syntax of regular expressions and how to construct match patterns Day 3 Learn how to manipulate the contents of files on the command line Understand the concept of file types and formats, and understand how your computer guesses what kind of file something is Learn the file command, which takes a different approach to guessing what kind of file something is Practice getting information out of the error messages you have collected so far Day 4 Understand what happens behind the scenes when you navigate to a URL in a web browser, or when you send an email Make requests of Web servers the same way that browsers do Learn about the three "Web languages" (HTML, CSS, Javascript) and how they work together to define the content, look, and functionality of web pages Day 5 Create an empty repository on Github with a README and an MIT Licence Practice working with Git and Github, the add/commit/push cycle, and pulling remote changes Understand how code collaboration works on Github, and fork the miniproject repository Use regular expression knowledge to collect, transform, and clean data taken from Wikipedia into a format suitable for a web application Master the terminology that programmers take for granted Day 6 Write simple routines on the command line Learn how to turn these routines into executable programs Learn about different sorts of shells Modify the JavaScript function given in the boilerplate code to execute various regex tasks See the output of regex by opening the index.html file with a browser Understand how our code fetches the data using HTTP requests Add and modify basic CSS styles for different elements Add and modify basic interaction elements e.g. buttons in HTML Bind the elements to our JavaScript functions to toggle the data being displayed Finalize the project, push it to git repo and make it online using GitHub Pages

Hi @emilykateemilykate thanks for this contribution proposal. I wonder if we could find time to have a quick chat about this at some point in the next couple of days so I can get a clearer handle on what you aim to produce. It's possible from what you describe that this might be better as a 'Captured Event' rather than a 'Hosted Resource'. I can also then give you a quick tour of the CMS.

Thanks

Yes, please!! Perhaps we can talk sometime tomorrow? I can likely make any time work over zoom! Thank you so so much for your feedback and willingness to showcase the cms! I can’t wait to get started.

Great, OK, assuming you're the Emily Kate that Vera Charvat has just included in a different email conversation, then I will make arrangements with you there :)

Hello!

I have been thinking about this resource and how we may want to tackle this correctly. I am actually taking the course this semester in order to better understand the way in which it should be hosted on the platform and I actually think as opposed to being a hosted resource, it may do better as an external resource. Much of the technical aspect of the course is drawn from datacamp and Software carpentry's materials and as such, I think perhaps we may do better to express it as an external resource. I'm open to thoughts on this!
