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 is a way to keep track of changes made to a project. People can work individually on a group project by keeping track of changes they make by using git. When a person is done working on a part of the project they can then push their changes to GitHub. This allows everyone to work on their own but then see the project as a whole and the changes made by everyone else.

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.):

Class: Book Genre

Object: "Fiction", "Non-Fiction", "Sci-Fi", "Biography", "Childrens", "Romance", "History"

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, create 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: https://gist.github.com/DerekBird/0851cf1df3c0863802429726bec0cc5b

Nice work, @DerekBird! A couple things:

  1. For the object example, book genre seems like an attribute of a book object to me. So you could have book as the class, and then specific books as the objects, like 1984, Pride and Prejudice, etc. Attributes could be genre, pageLength, readingLevel, yearPublished, etc. Does that make sense?
  2. Your gist seems to not have markdown formatting because the file extension .md is missing. Try adding .md to the end of your file name.
