Please do this before the first week ISP lab.

1. Sign-up

1. Join the Google Classroom for this course.
2. Tell us your Github id on this form: https://forms.gle/rbJrt89ar5Swx9VC8
3. Join our Discord Server. Link announced in class and maybe on About the Course page.

2. Update Your Github Profile

Update your Github Profile. Your profile should include

• photo that clearly shows your face. Face should be at least 40% of vertical space. No credit if face is not clear, obscured, or too small.
• your real name, either full name (“Steve Jobs”) or first name only (“Steve”) are OK. Use correct capitalization with space (not “steve jobs” or “SteveJobs”).
• Not a nickname. Not your Github login.

See examples below.

3. Install or Upgrade Required Software

Install this required software, if you don’t have them:

• Git including the git command. Download from https://git-scm.com
• Python 3.11 or newer. Python 3.11 is recommended.
• IDE for Python. PyCharm, PyDev (Eclipse), and VS Code are good.
• OBS Studio, to record your computer screen during coding tests.
• A good text editor with syntax highlighting, for situations where you want to edit a single text file.
  • Good editors: Atom, Notepad++ (Windows), Sublime, VS Code (a bit slow), TextMate (Mac), or vim (a bit hard to learn).
  • Windows Notepad is NOT a good editor.
