This project is a critical first step in setting up my professional development environment and workflow for the Applied Programming course. As a software engineer, it's essential to confirm that my development tools are correctly configured and that I can successfully submit a project following best practices.
This software is a minimal Python console application. When executed, the program prints a simple, personalized string to the terminal.
The purpose of creating this software is threefold: to confirm that Python is correctly installed and accessible on my system's path, to practice the full GitHub workflow (creating a repository, committing, and pushing code), and to successfully complete the course's video and documentation submission requirements.
The tools I used to develop this software include:
- Visual Studio Code (VS Code): Used as the primary Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for writing and editing code.
- Git: Used for local version control and tracking changes.
- GitHub: Used as the public, remote repository to host the final code and documentation.
The programming language I used for this project is Python.
