Due date

End of day, 22 Jan 2015

Objectives

The purpose of this assignment is twofold:

1. Introduce yourself to me so that I can better understand your background and what you hope to get from this course.

2. Become familiar with the homework submission process

Procedure

Below, I describe both the generic procedure for submitting your homework and the specific requirements for this exercise.

General homework procedure

1. You will need to sign up and get a free GitHub account. If you like, you can apply for the student pack available at https://education.github.com, but that is not required for this course.

2. Next, you will need to log in to the site and browse to the repository for this assignment, https://github.com/nau-comp3320/homework00. From there, you will need to Fork the repository.

3. Once you have your own copy of the homework repository, you will can clone the repository to your local computer.

4. Now, you can complete your work and commit your changes to your local repository.

5. Once you have completed your work, you can push/sync your changes to your fork of the homework repository.

6. Once your work is complete, you can create a pull request on the original homework repository. This will constitute turning in your assignment.

You can always amend your pull request with new changes. I will also be able to comment on the pull request to give you feedback.

This assignment

In this repository, there is a folder called students with a file called template.md. Please make a copy of this file using your name as part of the file name. Once copied, please fill answer the questions. You will then be able to add it to the local repository before you commit and push.

Note that the file is using Markdown as simple text-based markup language. Feel free to format your homework, but you don’t really need to do anything special for this assignment.
