I'm really looking forward to meeting each of you in person and getting to know you better over the course of the upcoming 12 weeks. I'm also really excited about teaching and mentoring you all, seeing what awesome things you'll build and what interesting ways you'll approach the assignments and projects in the class. I know you're ready to get started, so let's get right to it!
First, you need to sign up for a free Github account, find the class project and "star" it (more on "starring" and notifications). Once you do, I'll invite you to a group for our class, so watch for an email from Github!
Next, get acquainted by poking around a bit, paying special attention to the class wiki. There's some important information there about how to turn in assignments and how I'll grade them. Afterward, get started on Brace Yourself, due the first day of class.
Throughout the course, I'll be adding files to this repository to distribute assignments, notes for each class, and general information about the course. Throughout the course, you'll open, close, and contribute to Issues and Pull Requests (more about "issues" on Github). By the end, you'll all be Github experts!
Best of luck!
