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.

Git allows me to save versions of a project that I am working. The benefit of using Git is that I can save the exact version that I want to, and I can add a note to describe the saved version of the project. Other benefits include the ability to make changes on a project from one computer and then access those changes from another computer and then add additional changes to the project. This is allowed for both individuals and teams. For example, if one person on a team makes a change to a project, Git allows the other team members to access that person's changes to the project and then add their own. Git is widely used.

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.): If the class is a dog, then several instances are dalmatians, golden retrievers, german shepherds, and pugs.

Assignment 3 (60 min)

Skim this intro to Markdown. It's not necessary to memorize because you can always come back to it as a reference.

Next, a new gist of your own by clicking the New Gist button in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Create a "Beginners Guide to Git" documenting your git knowledge so far using Markdown. Incorporate each of the following features into your Gist:

  • at least two headings of different sizes

  • at least one numbered list

  • at least one bullet point list

  • at least one bold word/phrase

  • at least one italic word/phrase

  • at least one code block

  • at least one inline code block (greyed text)

  • at least one image

  • Paste the link to your gist here: https://gist.github.com/joshsherwood1/f17fa04597c540263fb4b53a49caea78
