1. Open terminal, create new directory for Graphics work, practice workflow:
$ cd PHYS202-S14
$ git pull origin master
$ git status
$ mkdir Graphics
$ ipynb
2. Navigate to the Graphics directory and create a new notebook called GraphicsTour with title cell (Heading 1) Graphics Tour.
3. Open "Graphics Intro" webpage on PolyLearn in one Browser Window. Follow the self-guided tour, entering code into your GraphicsTour notebook as you go. Add markdown cells with your notes, if you like.
No copy/paste!
Type the commands yourself to get the practice doing it. This will also slow you down so you can think about the commands and what they are doing as you type them.
4. At the end of the self-guided tour create a new notebook called GraphicsExercises and open the "Graphics Exercises" page on PolyLearn. Start working on the exercises.
They will be due as HW by Wednesday, April 30, 2014 at 11:59pm.
5. Before leaving, save your work in the notebook, then practice your workflow:
$ git status
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "<summary message goes here>"
$ git push origin master
$ git status
Check github to be sure the work got there so you have it for the weekend.
