Week 1.1 README

CEGM1000 MUDE: Week 1.1, 2024.

Files for this workshop are available for download via the GitLab repository: gitlab.tudelft.nl/mude/2024-week-1-1 (click blue "Code" button, then download this repository as "zip"; unzip the files in your working directory).

This GitLab repository contains files needed for Week 1.1 activities (Friday's Group Assignment are separate). It includes:

• this README.md overview
• a Markdown file for Workshop 1.1, WS_1_1_Warming_Up.md
• a file environment.yml to create your first MUDE conda environment (part of WS 1.1)
• a Jupyter notebook for Programming Assignment 1.1, PA_1_1_Catch_Them_All.ipynb
• a Python file catchme.py (part of PA 1.1)

Note that typically the Programming Assignment files, PA_*.ipynb, will be shared earlier in the week and completed at home. However, since the first week is short, PA 1.1 is short enough to be done during the Wednesday in-class session.

The objectives of this assignment are to:

• confirm that your Python and conda installation is ready
• get acquainted with the files system on your computer and set up working directories
• confirm that you can run Jupyter notebooks in VS Code
• learn about Python dictionaries

The material in these assignments is based on the reading in the Programming Chapters of the textbook for Week 1.1.

Instructions

Before working with the files in this repository, you should:

1. Read through the textbook material for this week.
2. Install Miniconda and VS Code on your computer (use the instructions in the book).

If you are reading this file on your computer, you will notice that there is quite a lot of markup on the text, whereas viewing this file on GitLab looks much nicer. To view the markup on your computer, install the VS Code extension "Markdown All-in-one" (as described here in the book). You can then use CTRL+SHIFT+V to view the formatted version of the file.

Once this is completed, you are ready to begin the workshop by following the instructions in WS_1_1_Getting_Started.md.

End of file.
