Demo in class by Izaak

• Demonstration of submitting and running code on cloud software server

  • Set up your repository (once):

    • Download the application framework (boilerplate)
    • Configure your repository to submit updates to the server for evaluation

  • Edit and test your code (many times, until it works):

    • Edit your Python files
    • Optional: Test your changes on your local machine
    • If your changes work locally:
      • Commit your changes (usually via git commit -a -m <change description>)
      • Submit your changes (via git push submit master)
      • Find your most recent submission in the appropriate assignment on the server
      • Press the “Evaluate” button
      • On the resulting Evaluation page, click on the run identifier (a sequence of hex digits)
      • Review the output of your code
      • Click on the Assignments button, navigate back to this assignent and see the grade for the evaluation

• Description of Welcome Wagon assignment (see “For next class” below)

Return of midterms

If you were not in class, come to Ted’s office during office hours to pick up your midterm.

For next class
