2016 Getting started

[Matt Michielsen]

Hey guys, thanks for coming last night. Here are a list of links to get you started:

This will walk you through setting up a computer for working on robot code with Java.

https://desktop.github.com/

This is the Github client. You should also make a Github account and send me an email with your account name (so I can add you to our team's private group). I'd recommend not using your student number or anything for this, as this is an account you can use forever on Github.

https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-java

This seems like a pretty good intro to the Java language. I went through the first couple sets of exercises, and I think it will really help you guys with the basics.

https://try.github.io

This is an introduction to the git command line interface. There's also one on CodeAcademy, but it seems to be broken right now.

This is the current WPILib java documentation. All of our FIRST-specific classes are documented here.
