The idea behind the class is to take students who have a basic compentence in HTML & CSS with bit of commandline and JavaScript skills and teach them the basics of git, github, Jekyll and gulp.js. In addition, students get some understanding of what a development tool chain is and how to manage that tool chain on an Ubuntu workstation via the super cool c9 cloud development environment.

This class uses c9 and here are the setup instructions.
