Be ware that lecturers may not be able to help you with problems in some specific editors.

Take some time to set up your GitHub profile. Include your name, a profile picture, and a URL to your homepage. You鈥檙e allowed to stay anonymous online for this course by omitting sensitive information, but a good looking GitHub profile can help you get an internship or job later.
You will hand in your assignments on GitHub. You can drag and drop your files via the website but you can also use the GitHub desktop client. We don鈥檛 really cover using Git and GitHub in this course, feel free to ask other students and your teacher to help get you up and running.

We use our DLO Brightspace for schedulers and rubric feedback. Make sure you enroll in the Visual Interface Design 3.2 course, you can do so by using the HvA Course Selector. It鈥檚 important to select the right class for teachers to give you feedback and grades. If you鈥檙e not sure, ask your teacher to see if you are on the correct classlist.
