Structure of coding lessons

All of the sessions are structured in the same way, presenting the following materials:

a. 0: Demo



b. 0: Slides

You can access the full slideshow used in the 0-Overview narration here.

c. 0: Exercises

Normally, this section would have exercises to be done as either homework or classwork. However, since it’s still early in the semester, I’ll let you get away without homework on this one! 😉

d. 0: Solutions

This section will provide the solutions for homework and classwork exercises. But since there are no exercises, we also don’t have any solutions 😔
