Everything you need to know before the building starts. If you were here for Grade 11 the page names will look familiar, and every one of them has changed underneath — because this year you work in a team, on code you did not write, for somebody who keeps it afterwards. Read these in your first week, and come back whenever a routine feels fuzzy.
- How This Class Works — the workshop rhythm, and the two things that are new: version control from day one, and other people’s code treated as a skill rather than a punishment.
- Our Classroom Norms — broken programs welcome, honesty about help, reviews about the code and never the person. The most important page here.
- What to Bring — a notebook, your login, and the phone rule.
- How Marks Work — where the evidence comes from, why the team project is the biggest single piece, and how your individual contribution inside it is actually seen.
- Getting Help — the order to try things in, including the two kinds of stuck that only exist on a team.
