 GitHub

GitHub is a site that will be the staging area for all the code you in this class, and when you leave this class. Think of it as a living, expanding professional portfolio of code you have written. The main idea of using GitHub is twofold:

1. To collaborate with your teammates during class and be an effective group member
2. To have an easily accessible center for all your work to share with future employers

Before watching this screencast, please sign up for a GitHub account. Since this will be a professional account, it is important you use a professional username. Make sure the username is something you'll have no shame in sharing with future employers. Your first and last name (or a slight variation) is recommended.
