As your first assignment, create a new Issue in the class repo with the raw contents of this file as the "description" (read Mastering Issues for more). Hint: look for the "raw" button. For the title of the issue, use the following format "## -- HW Title -- Your Name". So if I was to make an issue for the prework, I would title my issue "00 -- Prework -- Jeff Ligon". Once you create the issue, you should end up with a bunch of checkboxes just like those below, thanks to the way that Github interprets Markdown. As you complete tasks, check off the corresponding checkboxes. This is your Work In Progress (WIP) Issue. You'll create a new one for each assignment to show your work and track your progress.
- Assumed complete ;)
- Edit your Github profile to provide:
- A picture, so I can recognize your face.
- Your full name, so I can recognize your name.
- A valid public email address, so I can contact you if I need to.
- Complete the "Hello World" Github guide
- Add a link to your new Github repo as a comment in your WIP Issue.
- Read and complete the exercises for the Command Line Crash Course. The command line is another name for the terminal. There are about 20 commands you'll use all the time on the command line, and it's helpful to have them memorized so we can use them right away.
- Install Xcode from the Mac App Store.
- Close this issue! You're done!
Regardless of how good you are at typing, a lot of the mistakes you make at first will be simple typographic errors. If you don't know how to touch type (i.e. without looking at the keyboard), start practicing now with http://www.keybr.com/.
Typing code is different from typing other documents; more characters are used, and certain letter combinations come up more frequently. If you're fairly confident in your typing ability, try working through the Objective-C lessons on http://typing.io.
