For this first exercise, there will be very little coding, because we'll focus on getting used to using git, GitHub, the ICDS-ACI Portal (or your local copy of Julia if you prefer), Julia and the Pluto notebook environment.
Start at the course website where it offers help getting setup to complete this lab using ICDS-ACI. A link that will trigger GitHub Classroom to create your private repository to start from was provided via Canvas.
Once you get a terminal on ACI (or your local machine if you prefer), clone your repository (and not the generic lab1-start). Then start julia and Pluto, open the Pluto notebook in ex1.jl and start working through ex1.jl.
From Pluto, work through ex2.jl.
If you're running low on time, please quit this exercise early and make sure to allow yourself 30 minutes for exercise 3 and submitting your repository.
- Create a file named goals.md in your repository.
- Using markdown, create headings for "My Experience" and "My Goals".
- Write one paragraph (1-5 sentences) about your previous programming experience. Include a working link somewhere in the paragraph.
- Create a bulleted list of 2 or 3 goals for you to work towards during this course.
- Create a bulleted list of 3-9 specific objectives for you to achieve during this course.
- Remember to commit the file to your local repository and push it to your Github repository, so it will be included in the pull request that is used to submit your assignment.
- Once you've pushed your code to GitHub, view a rendered version of your file on GitHub to make sure the formatting is as you intended.
Once you're ready to commit and push your responses, look at the tip on the course website for instructions on committing, pushing and submiting your work. You'll use these same steps for all future labs.
