(sec:Preparation)=
Preparation
===========

Here is a checklist of tasks you should complete as soon as possible.  In your
[CoCalc][] project, please check of these tasks as you complete them, and include any notes.

## [CoCalc][]

:::{figure} CoCalcProjects.png
:figclass: margin
Example of the two projects you should see in your account on [CoCalc][].  The first is
the [Shared Project][] we will work in together.  The second is my personal student
project where I will keep my own notes and work.
:::
* Create an account on [CoCalc][] using your WSU email.  Once you do this, you
  should see at least two projects:
  * One is a [Shared Project][] I will use for work in class.  You can interact with me
    here, and copy code etc. as needed.
  * The second is your private workspace for assignments, etc.  The instructors can see
    and help you with this, but it is not shared with other class participants.
  *(Feel free to create other projects as you need, but keep your work for this class in
    your class project.)*

## Shell

You will need to have access to a unix-like shell on your computer so you can run
command-line tools like `git`, `ssh`, `make`, `grep`, etc.


## Version Control




## Continuous Integration (CI)

* Create an account on [GitHub][] or [GitLab][].

## Programming

* Integer math.
* String manipulation.

## Documentation

* Markdown

## Editor
