Why are we doing this?

Being a developer involves getting used to setting up lots of software and equipment. It is tough at first but you will get used to it (you never really get happy about it).

You must read through the precourse prep and get set up for class. When you hit blockers, post on Slack and work the problems. Blockers are normal.

Every week you will get prep work to do before class. This is always the most important work you must do that week, so schedule it into your diary.

How to get help

Share your blockers in your class channel. If you have a regional centre, bring your laptop and work the problem together.
