fizzbuzz - Jan 28
Ground rules:
Discuss the fizzbuzz assignment including
start discussing revision control systems, particularly git & github.com
coming next
distributed version control - git
- start reading about git and git tools for your OS
- get a github.com account and let me know what your username is
- two models for collaborative development :
palindromes or anagrams
- one more "warm up" coding project before Tron: palindromes or anagrams
- first find a dictionary of words (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words_(Unix) ) and be able to read it into a program.
- then with individual or pairs or triples (your choice depending on your experience), write a program to look for either anagrams of a given word or phrase or palindromes.
- Yes, it's an open ended assignment - poke around and see what make of it.
(Aside: I believe that our our adjunct chemist, Gaidos, Gabriel, tells me
that he's interested in looking for palindromes in DNA sequences ...)
