Resources

Here are the 3 tools that we will use in this course.

1. Repl.it: This is a site to do programming in your Internet browser. Weekly exercises are to be done on this website. Choose Python3. You can choose to make links to your code anonymous, or create a free account that lets you save your work as you go.
2. Coursys: This is where you will submit links to your repl.it exercises (for completion marks). Check your code in repl.it by running it and testing it, and ask any questions you have in Piazza below.
3. Piazza: This is where you can discuss with your classmates about any questions you have. TAs will be moderating. Try to avoid questions like "Here is my code, it doesn't work. Help!" A better question is: Hey, I'm trying to do _______ but my problem is _______. I tried doing _____, and I tried doing _____, but this is what happened ________. Here is a link to my code ________. Any ideas?
