notionparallax/code1161base

The base repo for the UNSW CODE1161 course

Hi there 👋, I'm Ben Doherty

• I’m currently working on:
  • Walden Pond, a personalised magazine. ( front end, back end is full of secrets 🧙‍♂️)
  • Design Computing A UNSW course in the Computational Design degree that teaches how to use Python to do useful things, and how to explore public data and tell stories with it. ( profile:)
  • Pronoun badge () a way for you to add pronouns to your GitHub readme (see above for an example!). There's an interface for generating the url here.

I also have a website at notionparallax.co.uk 🐷

And a much neglected meetup: Sydney computational design group

I tweet a bit from @notionparallax and @WaldenPondZine

📖 Stalk my reading here 📚 and I have an account with the hellsite:

Update tests

Either use a 'real' test framework, or update them to look like the exam tests.
A real framework would probably be best, but the exams are nicely verbose.

Cannot see/access Google Forms 1 and 2 Lecture 1

The formatting is there, but the box is blank/white. This is a repeated issue (not a one off occurrence).

The same issue occurs under getting registered -> Now fill in theses details: (before "back on topic")

Fix broken links

The following links from the course outline are broken:

• Victor, B. (2013). the future of programming: http://worrydream.com/%23!/dbx

These two have no links? (not sure if that is on purpose or not)
