Git is a version control system. Github is a proprietary hosting service that manages central git repositories. A git repository doesn't have to be public, but there are some great free hosts available if you do want to make your work available. Github, obviously, or Gitorious, especially if you're offended by github's ugly gender politics. Github's GUI is much nicer than any generalized Git GUI's I've seen, which is a vote for using Github, but it really doesn't matter.

So here are a few good reasons you should use git to manage teaching materials:

## Load the file into a dataframe
calls.to.911 <- read.csv('/tmp/Calls_for_Service_2013.csv')

calls.to.911 <- read.csv('Calls_for_Service_2013.csv')

## Try `table` to summarize the data
table(calls.to.911$DispositionText)

## Make a few new frames out of those tables
disposition.summary <- as.data.frame(table(calls.to.911$DispositionText))

Advanced Infowindow Design

Getting Started

In this section, we will show you the advanced methods for controlling infowindows styles using the CartoDB interface. These skills will allow you to have highly customized infowindows for your published maps, created directly on your account. You don't need any programming skills to edit infowindows and you can see a tutorial of basic methods here. This section is about advanced methods and you will be required to use basic skills in HTML and later CSS.

Editing Infowindow HTML

CartoDB gives you direct access to the HTML that controls the layout of your infowindows. If you don't feel ready to edit HTML and CSS see the tutorial of basic methods. In CartoDB you can find the advanced editor by selecting the Infowindow Wizard and then clicking the small code tag in the upper right.
