Week 0

Welcome to FSE

Welcome to the first week of FSE! This week will be all about getting the ball rolling for projects. We'll answer such questions as - 'who are you? Who are we? What is FSE?', finalize project ideas, and start working through the process of creating project blueprints.

Most weeks, these daily docs will be filled all sorts of technical nuggets to help you get through the week - tech breakdowns, tutorials, links to external resources, etc.

This week is different. We expect you to spend most of your time working on your project blueprints and getting things set up for the rest of the semester before we jump right into Unit Testing next week.

Team and Repository GitHub Setup

As we talked about in class today, we're going to attempt the Olin-FSE GitHub organization to organize all of our work. Each team will create a team within the organization, and their repository will be hosted within this as well. Don't worry, you'll be able to transfer ownership outside of Olin-FSE at the end of the semester.
