Assignment 0

Before you begin the course project, there are a few tasks you need to complete. These tasks will not be graded, but you will not be able to work on the project unless you complete them.

  1. (Required) Provide your Github username on Canvas
  2. (Required) Install Git Client if you don't have it already
  3. (Required) Install Node.js if you don't have it already
  4. (Required from Assignment 4) Install MongoDB if you don't have it already

Submitting Github Username

We use Github to synchronize all the code you write for the course project. Hence, you must complete this task before you can start working on the project. Refer to the setup walk-through for detailed instructions.

Install Git Client

As mentioned, since we use Github to manage code, you will need Git Client on your machine to push/pull from Github. You can either install the Git CLI or Github Desktop (GUI).

Install NodeJS

Although there won't be JavaScript in the next assignment, you will use NodeJS to start a local web server and serve your client-side application. Hence, you must complete this task before you can start working on your course project. In addition, NodeJS is very useful for quickly testing your JavaScript code during class activities.

You can find the setup instructions here.

Install MongoDB

This is not required in the next assignment, but you will be using MongoDB later in the course (from Assignment 4 onwards). Feel free to skip this task for now if you prefer to install it later.

You can find the setup instructions here.
