July 2016/Github

outline

goals

goals with using github:

• visibility
• convenience
• open access
• utility for own coding
• teaching habits
• practicing habits

Hello World:

• don't want to bloat it, but could be useful for showing how to run a unit test, etc.

D3/Pelican:

• Good for visibility
• Harder to organize, not as good for the habits goal - harder to control code base
• Purpose? Quick dashboard? Interesting data set?
• What can you teach? What forum, for what purpose?

Nice example:

• Github repo with iPython notebooks for intro to chemical engineering: http://jckantor.github.io/CBE20255/
• In general: interesting/useful iPython notebook repositories on Github: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/A-gallery-of-interesting-IPython-Notebooks#engineering-education

on the stack

next up

Topic:

• What topic?
• Focus - focus on something of interest to me
• Let the application and the learning and the finished product be the end

Topics:

• Science topic
• Census data
• Sensor data

hello world repository

What's to be done:

• basic differential equation solver

What's Done:

• Link: https://github.com/charlesreid1/hello-world
• http get, http server
• Added new languages: Go, Perl, Awk, Matlab, Java, etc.
• Date script for multiple languages
• Good start so far
• Add compilation instructions (how to install compilers on various machines)
• next step for hello world: add hello world web server
• add math function (pi approximation, ode implementation)

wireless

Nosecleaner would be useful for UGR projects: https://github.com/charlesreid1/nosecleaner

As would wifi-data: https://github.com/charlesreid1/wifi-data

the attic

stuff that really ought not be dusted off: Attic repositories
