This video shows you the process of downloading Git and Maven, and installing these on your system. This is a Windows specific guide, so if you are using another operating system (e.g. Linux or Mac OS X), please let me know and I will be able to provide you with custom instructions for these platforms. I have been assured that Git is installed on your University machines, so this step should not be necessary if you are not using your own machine.
This video accompanies the "Maven in 5 minutes" guide; and guides you through the process of creating a Maven project for Java, and shows you how to execute your project from the command line.
If you would like to use Maven or Version Control in your coursework, but haven’t had much experience of this in the past, the following links provide step-by-step guides to performing their basic operations:
