Session 4 Readings and Responses

The readings and responses listed here should take you approximately 50 minutes total.

To start this assignment:

  1. Click the button in the upper right-hand corner that says Fork. This is now your copy of this document.
  2. Click the Edit button when you're ready to start adding your answers.
  3. To save your work, click the green button in the bottom right-hand corner. You can always come back and re-edit your gist.

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 Workflow is vital to know as a software developer. Github itself is the most commonly used website for collaborating with Git. The way this works is that individual users can edit and make changes to their personal 'Git' and then they can slowly add them to the 'Master' copy (that is the best version/will eventually be the live version). It's important to only commit smaller chunks of changes at a time so that it's easier to debug and see which parts of code don't work the way you want to when they are all pushed onto the 'Master Git.'

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.):

A class example would be 'Dog' and several objects or instances within that class would be 'labrador,' 'golden retriever,' 'great dane,' and 'poodle.'

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: Beginner's Guide to Git
