Course Template

This repository is a template for managing coursework using GitHub pages. It uses the theme dinky, nbviewer.js, and reveal.js for presenting material.

For each week of class, create a subdirectory weekZZ (where ZZ is the week of the class) and place any .ipynb and .md files in that directory. Lectures can utilize the layout lecture, which will present them in revealjs.

Instructions to get started:

For basic class info, modify: _data/class.yml, _includes/class_info.html and _config.yml

For your github repo - make sure to turn on github pages and make sure it shows the correct github.io location.
Do this under Settings for this repo. For example, this one is USERNAME.github.io/CLASSNUMBER:

For each lesson:

For each day or week (a single lesson) of class, create a subdirectory lessonZZ (where ZZ is the day of the class) and place any .ipynb and .md files in that directory. Lectures can utilize the layout lecture, which will present them in revealjs.

To build:
