Labs

All the labs have been tested on macOS environment (Unix flavour). If you are using a Windows machine, I encourage you to use Windows Subsystem for Linux.

The first exercise lab sessions is meant to practice working with Git and GitHub. The next lab session is meant to practice writing unit tests and test driven development to increase test coverage. The third lab session aimed at introducing you to CI/CD. After a few weeks, the lab sessions switch to independent work, i.e. the labs are organized as sessions where you can work on your project freely, and where an assistant is present to answer any questions. During those hours, the computer room are reserved for you, so that you can certainly work. Since most of the students have personal laptops, they may choose not to visit the lab. The previous class did not visit the computer lab.

• The rest of the semester you work freely on your project. You can come to campus for this, the computer room is available for you during the scheduled hours of the class. However, it is also perfectly possible to work on the project from home. If you have any questions or problems, you can contact me or the assistant on the Discord workspace

Below is the detailed time-schedule, which is subject to change. Changes will be notified over e-mail or on the Discord workspace.
