Deprecation Note

Udacity has launched a new version of this course in mid 2020 with a new set of (maintained) repositories:

1. https://github.com/udacity/cdond-c3-projectstarter
2. https://github.com/udacity/nd9991-c3-hello-world-exercise-solution

So, the Udacity content team is going to deprecate and archive the current repository. Currently enrolled learners, if any, can utilize the https://knowledge.udacity.com/ forum for help on specific issues.
