Intro-03

Learning Outcome

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• create a GitHub repo / Codespace

• create a Codespaces instance

Review

• review logging into GitHub and Repl.it

Lesson

• go over what an IDE (integrated development environment) is (see video)

• go over what a GitHub repo is: 

• go over creating a Codespace IDE / Repo:

  • what is Codespaces → a cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) from GitHub

  • do demo of how to create one

    • NOTE: click on the link in Google Classroom, it will create a GitHub Repository for you and then open up a Codespace with it inside

Daily Assignment

• in the textbook Computer Based Problem Solving

  • read the Introduction (the entire intro, including the 2 sub parts)

• create a CodeSpace IDE instance:

  • NOTE: ENSURE you are NOT in incognito mode in Chrome, or using Codespaces will not work properly!

  • ENSURE you are signed in to GitHub to use GitHub Classroom

    • authorize GitHub Classroom when asked

  • use provided link

    • when asked, ensure you select your GitHub account, not another student's!

    • accept the assignment

    • after a moment, hit the refresh button on Chrome

    • then click on the GitHub repo link

  • select "Code" and start up the new CodeSpace

  • take a screenshot once it is up and running

  • ensure you can get back to your Codespace from within GitHub, on top right menu

• add "Extensions" to your codespace

  • see here for extensions you should be adding

  • once added, ensure you "sync" your settings to GitHub, so you can retrieve them for the next codespace

• remember, you MUST have an entry for EVERY SINGLE LESSON

  • see the example document to know what to submit → Jane Smith - ICS3U - Intro-03.pdf (see file below: ↓)

Extra

• try a coding tutorial here:

  • Beginner Skill Map

  • do the 2nd tutorial series, located in the green land

  • take a screenshot of what you were able to accomplish

Homework!

• yes, there is homework but it is not hard!

  • take a picture of your computer logged into CodeSpaces at home with the home screen showing; yes that is it!

  • make sure I can see not only the screen but your entire computer setup

  • upload this picture to the Google Doc for today
