This repository consists of 3 essential parts:
Reading materials: this document contains all the required theory you need to know while you're coding. It's meant as both study material and as a reference to understand what you're doing.Homework: this document contains the instructions for each week's homework.Lesson Plans: this part is meant for teachers as a reference. However, as a student don't be shy to take a look at it as well!
After your first class you should start off with checking the reading materials for that week. At the beginning that would be the Week 1 Reading. Study all the concepts and try to get the gist of everything. After, you can get started with the homework for that week.
If you have any questions or if something is not entirely clear ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, please ask/comment on Slack!
