Mid-semester Survey

Due Thursday, October 10, 2019

By next class, please fill out the survey.

We will also be working with tools to get your websites online, so please sign up for the following services by next class:

  • GitHub: this is the site most programmers use to store code and share it with people. Sign up with an account here so we can start to store code. You can also add you GitHub profile to your resumé once you’ve built it up!
  • Netlify: This is an online platform that lets you publish websites completely free, with no strings attached. I’ve used Netlify to publish over 70 websites myself, including the Datajourn website.
