Mac Env

First Day Install

So I have had a few people ask me, what do I run on my machine or how to get started coding on a mac. This is running, imperfect list, of how to get going. I will add more support and probably some videos later. For now this set up is for MAC ONLY a few of these items will mess up a windows and linux machine. I am hoping to have a windows/linux walkthrough soon, until then please be patient 🥳.

Productivity & Applications

Tower Light

Galvanize Tower

In this project, you'll build a full-stack application that has an API, reads and writes data, and uses a library. The topic is up to you!

Requirements (Loose)

These are less of requirements and more of guide lines. If you want to work as a group, feel free. If you want an instructor to approve a proposal or help you to generate an idea, just let us know. The purpose of Tower is for you to have fun and hone the skills you deem most important.

  • Has an API that can list, read, update, create, and delete data
