The folder including videos for all classes can be found via this link. Each class video will be linked to the course schedule/calendar as well, but that may take a few hours to happen, the folder will be live immediately after class.

Tools

See Resources below for documentation on installing VSCode and Git

• VSCode – We require (strongly recommend) using Visual Studio Code (VSCode). Information on installing software for 201 is found below.

• GitLab and Git – We use the Git version control system to distribute, store, and submit code for labs and projects. Take time to set up Git for a smooth workflow. The “Getting Started” guide in the course Git repository shows how to set up your account and install cryptographic keypairs to connect it to your computers and your container. Also see the tutorial from Duke OIT. Remember to fork each lab/project individually, and commit/push often to protect your work.

Supplementary Texts

• Reasonable reference: Java for Python Programmers
• The Princeton equivalent to 201 (COS 226) uses a textbook with a companion website that is open/free. It contains helpful documentation and readings.
• OpenDSA website with information about Data Structures and Algorithms.
