Using the Content

Content is located in the content/ folder. It currently consists of 5 chapters:

Each chapter has its own folder. Content for each chapter is split in two subfolders:

  • lecture/: content to be presented and discussed as part of lectures
  • lab/: content to be worked on as practical activities during labs / seminars

Lecture content is expected to be presented and followed. Lab content is expected to be used as practice work.

Chapter Contents

Lecture content consists of slides and demos. Slides are written in GitHub Markdown and use reveal-md and reveal.js to render HTML output. Lecture slides are built from the slides.md file using the make command (and the Makefile). Demos are snippets of code and support files that showcase concepts and ideas related to the lecture. Demos are located in the demo/ folder. Each demo has its own folder with source code, Makefile or other build files (if required) and support files.

Lab content consists of lab text and lab activities. Lab text is placed in the README.md file. Each lab activity has its own folder with source code, Makefile or other build files (if required) and support files.
