Codelab Chapter 01: Introduction to Codelab

Homework to be completed before next Codelab session

• Schedule a 1 on 1 with me before week 4 to talk about your dreams, your discontents, and your computer. We’ll also use this time to set up your development environment.
• Set up an account at Github and post your username on the Slack praxis channel so I can add you to our organization.
• Hopefully I’ll have passed out copies of Julia Evans’s lovely So You Want to be a Wizard zine. That’s something written for someone who is already a programmer, but it’ll be useful for you to skim through now to gleen some meta-strategies for navigating tech. Review it again once you have a few for loops under your belt.
• For a bit of counter-programming, Miriam Posner’s “Some things to think about before you exhort everyone to code” is good to think about (and perhaps even to critique).
