This will prepare you for lab00
Reminder: Finding the SPIS Dashboard
The SPIS Dashboard has the calendar for all SPIS events
You can navigate to the SPIS dashboard by:
- Going to spis.ucsd.edu
- Clicking Academic Program
- Clicking SPIS Dashboard
This animation shows the process
Lab 0
I’ll start by going over what you need to know to work on lab 0.
We number our labs from zero instead of one, because many things in Computer Science number from zero.
- Note: There’s a reason for “numbering from zero”; if you like, we can go into that later; feel free to ask at the end if you are curious.
Lab 0 covers some “housekeeping issues”: we’ll be getting you signed up for some of the tools you’ll need throughout SPIS.
We might also get into a little bit of Python. We may not have time to get into it too much; but we’ll have plenty of time later to go into it more deeply.
Lab0 covers:
- Adding yourself to the GitHub organization: github.com/spis2022
- Signing up for repl.it, an online platform for programming
Adding yourself to the GitHub organization
Here are the instructions. Let’s just take a few minutes and do it now:
Signing up for repl.it
Now let’s sign up for repl.it, using these instructions (and as shown in the animation):
- Navigate to repl.it
- Don’t fill in the form; instead Click the Continue with Google button
- Sign in with your UCSD email
- Skip over the intro stuff (as shown in the animation)
