Objective

In this project, we get started with some course initialization and review activities.

Project Overview

Course Homepage

You're reading this, so you've likely already found your way to the course homepage. It consists of the syllabus plus additional course resources.

Please familiarize yourself with it, bookmarking important resources as appropriate, so that you can refer back when needed.

I'd recommend knowing how to get to the projects page (where you found the link for this project), as new content will be posted there.

Syllabus

Be sure to read through and over the syllabus, ensuring there are no questions on the material and organization of the course.

Journal Intro

Familiarize yourself with your Journal, and once there:

NOTE: Week 1 journal entry will be due before Thursday of week2, the remainder of the intro Journal content will be due by this project's deadline.

Class Chat (IRC)

Using the tutorial, set up a screen session and join the #csci channel on irc. This has proven useful for more interactive (debugging!) conversations.

Additionally, the C/C++ Programming students will be on this channel, so you could further review your C skills by helping them out.

Lab46 Shell

Ensure you can still (or if you are new to this, that you can successfully) log into lab46 via an ssh or mosh client.

Lab46 will be the primary and supported development environment for the course. While you are free to use your own systems for any projects not intimately tied to Lab46 or the LAIR, any assigned projects:

Remember, during open LAIR times you can always come in and use the pods.

Personal/Per-User Lab46 Mercurial Repository

To both aid you and help you develop better development skills, I'd like for you to make regular commits and pushes to your Lab46 mercurial repository.

This way, you can have a regular snapshot of your work as you go along, plus have the ability to grab an older copy should something go wrong.

Like the Journal, I will be looking for a minimal amount of repository-related activity PER WEEK (for example, I will be looking for AT LEAST 1 commit in relation to your program for week 1).

NOTE that you only need to set up your repository ONCE. If you've done it in a previous semester, you are already all set.

Submit Tool Usage

Let's say you have completed work on the project, and are ready to submit, you would do the following:

lab46:~/src/discrete/dsi0$ submit discrete dsi0 info.text
Submitting discrete project "dsi0":
    -> info.text(OK)

SUCCESSFULLY SUBMITTED
lab46:~/src/discrete/dsi0$ 

I'll be evaluating the project based on the following criteria:

39:dsi0:final tally of results (39/39)
*:dsi0:customized journal title [5/5]
*:dsi0:customized journal intro [6/6]
*:dsi0:joined class irc chat [4/4]
*:dsi0:submitted info.text file [4/4]
*:dsi0:provided requested information in info.text [8/8]
*:dsi0:cloned lab46 mercurial repository into ~/src [4/4]
*:dsi0:committed and pushed populated .hgignore file [4/4]
*:dsi0:configured hgrc file [4/4]
