Skills Review

ASSIGNMENT

Begin work on the skills pre-assessment. This is not a test. Just an opportunity for you to review key concepts to make sure you are at a good spot to proceed this semester. This is a pass/fail assignment. If you attempt it you will get credit. Next Tuesday we will review your work and publish to github. If you want to do your work in gitpod.io be sure to setup a new public repo.If you need assistance with set up we will cover in class next Tuesday. I’ll include instructions if you want to set up on your own.
