Course tools & platforms

Course evaluations
As of April 19 course evaluations are live. Please take a moment to complete them. Click the above link for more info.

Student Google Drive
This where you will submit all coursework. You should have edit access to your own folder, and view-only access to everything else.

Reading response Google Doc
Please use this Google Doc to post all your readings responses for the semester. I'm including a link to it here as a shortcut. The doc includes instructions at the top for how to use it.

Technical guides and manuals

Official Python documentation website
The "Tutorial" and "Language Reference" sections will be useful for learning and reminding yourself about Python syntax. The "Library Reference" will be useful for things like data structures, which we will get to later in the semester. [Please note that this is for vesion 2.7 of Python. A newer version of Python has been releated (Python 3), but Processing works with Python 2 so that is what we'll be using to start.]

GitHub and GitHub Gists
These are extremely useful tools for saving and managing source code projects. We will be using Gists this semester for communication about your bugs and syntax questions. Explanation of that is in our website's Help section. More information about using Git will be provided later in the semester.

Other resources will be added as the semester progresses ...
