In prototyping we learn a lot of technical skills such as git and unix.

Session 1

We had an introduction to UNIX. Learnt about the history. We then started to work with a Raspberry Pi. We will be using a raspberry pi as our server in these two years. We learnt working in terminal with commands worked on some simple tasks within the Pi. We created html pages through terminal.

Session 2

I was sick and couldn’t attend but as much as I could catch up session 2 was about ssh keys and git. Created ssh keys to use when logging in to the Pi instead of just a username and password (because it’s safer) and created a git account to work with git repositories. (most of this I did after session 3)

Session 3

We learnt about binary code, did some counting exercises to see how computers do calculations in binary system and output a decimal result.

The problem of using two patterns that are different lengths still remains unsolved.
