Folders are numbered and sessions are dated YYYY-MM-DD so that alphabetical order is
reading order. That is not decoration: it is one of the rules taught in this course
unit, and this repository applies what it teaches. You are invited to check — and
to report anywhere it fails to.
Nothing is ever renamed or moved: a link handed out in September still works in January.
The repository evolves throughout the year. Additions and, above all, corrections
are recorded in CHANGELOG.md.
If you are working from material downloaded a few weeks ago, that is the first file to open.
The issues on this repository are the technical question channel for the course unit.
A question asked here gets an answer the whole cohort can read — and your problem is almost never yours alone. The form asks for your operating system, your version, a minimal example and the complete error message. That is not bureaucracy: it is exactly the reprex method taught on 7 September. It is common to find the answer while filling the form in.
