Last question: This course is targeted as a 15 week course. It's going to require 3-6 hours per week of effort on your part. We only want people who will put in the effort to complete the course.
To ensure you complete it, we're asking for a bounty. This bounty means you'll be required to put in a credit-card and if you don't finish the 15 week course, you'll be charged your bounty.
How much do you want to put in as a bounty that you'll finish the course? Enter the amount in dollars, with no leading dollar sign.
OK. Now for your pre-assignment. You need to sign up for github, and try to get a github pages page up. We're not going to give you any other instructions. We want to see how far you can get on your own. Try your best to complete this assignment. Once you've done this, email [email protected] from the email address you listed above, and send us the url as the subject, with any supporting or explaining material in the body of the email. Note: If you get stuck and just can't go any further, just email us and tell us how the experience went for you. Even if you fail with this first assignment, you can still get in.
Ready? GO!
