Coding Tools

Editor

You will need a code editor, I recommend Atom but you can use any other code editor. Examples that other students have used are: Sublime, Notepad++, Emacs, Vim, GEdit.

Bash Terminal

You will need a bash terminal. If you are on a Mac or Linux, you already have this.

If you are using Windows 10, you should follow these instructions from HowToGeek. I made a video this evening as well that may help.

If you are using Windows 7 or 8, then you will want to use Cygwin. This video should help you setup Cygwin and C++.

Social Media

We decided to use Twitter for this class. Remember that you can use an anonymous user if you desire and the important point is to keep an eye on the #TC1017 hashtag for posting or for reviewing if others have posted there.

WordPress and GitHub

You should have already created your own blog (Ken recommends WordPress) and a GitHub account. Once you have done that *and* created a first post (and removed the default WordPress posts) please register your blog for this course. There is a link for that at the top of our course site.
