Just to make sure everyone on the same page. So here is a short info Q/A - feel free to add anything or to ask questions
-
The first project is Monopoly - why Monopoly? because we wanted to start with small project - to get used to work together and to get familiar with the different platforms that we are going to use. Once we will finish this project - we will start more serious project (probably it will be more action-type game)
-
What is the deadline for the Monopoly? We didn't talk about deadlines yes - but its make sense to finish it around the end of the course (9 of December) - so around this time - lots of people in the course will start asking "whats now/ what should I do now?" we can then suggest them to join our group and by showing them the project that we have already done - will demonstrate high value... So bottom line the soft-deadline for this project is 9 of December.

Whats going on here? where is the code? Facebook is currently our main way to communicate. We store the code and all the documents related to this project in GitHub. https://github.com/SGover/monopoly
-
What is GitHUB? if you are new to GitHUB - in the mean time think about GitHUB as a web-based platform for collaboration in developing software. The platform gives us way to work together on documents/files... Play with the platform (don't worry Shahar is backing up everything so don't worry about breaking stuff).

Q: What is your background in coding? I am new to code, can I still help? For example I don’t even know what class is. A: We are all coming from different background, for some of us all our coding background is coming from the “introduction to interactive Programming in Python” . To understand my personal feeling about coding please read this great post from Peter Norvig – director at Google. Learn to program in 10 years - http://norvig.com/21-days.html . Regarding “Class” - this terminology is coming from object oriented – Python is hybrid language you can write in both functional design and OO (==object oriented) design. Python is not fully OO as it doesn’t implement some of the concepts of OO however it’s a good way to start getting into OO. The course is going to cover Classes – and you can find lots of material about it – I will try to post later on link with free books on python.
