Assignment 1 (30 min)

Read Turing Instructor David Whitaker's article on Git and GitHub

  • Use the article and outside resources (Google!) to describe the general process of a collaborative git workflow in the space below.

After a project has been started a developer can create a repo on Github and upload the data and files included in the original version. Other developers on the team can then pull the data to their computer through Github. If another developer makes some changes or updates to the original file they can then make a commit in Git and re-upload the new version. Github will track all of these changes so that everyone who is a collaborator on the project can see the history of updates and go back to make a pull of the project at any point during it's lifetime. This enables all collaborators to have a full timeline of the project in a central location.

Assignment 2 (10 min)

  • Watch Tim's video on classes and objects.

  • In the space below, come up with your own example of a class (like "bottle") and several objects (like "spray bottle", "nalgene", etc.):

Class: Car

Instances: SUV, sedan, pickup truck, coupe.
