Deliverables

In this course, students gradually build a developer portfolio: a folder with items showcasing their proficiency with markup languages and reproducible programming. A template portfolio is available on https://github.com/mlarpis/portfolio. The portfolio is handed in after the course ends for summative assessment.

The three deliverables (graded assignments) are:

  1. Developing and publishing a reproducible research compendium that contains a) reproducible markdown code and b) a typeset manuscript following a markup language;
  2. Developing and publishing a reproducible, referenceable and version-controlled development repository that clearly outlines the development cycle and origin;
  3. Developing and publishing a personal repository page.

What to hand in

Fork this template repository. You’ll end up with a copy of the repository template on your GitHub account, with the full course exercise and deliverable structure. The full rationale about GitHub and branching will be explained in more detail in this course.
