A collection of resources for learning various engineering skills.

This repository is very incomplete and a continual work-in-progress! Please send pull requests.

Fork this repository. Once you've worked/read through the Git section, create a new branch in your fork, and commit the code you write as you go.

Once you've completed your Git training you will be ready to start branching, committing and creating pull requests to your own fork. You will only need to do this for the trainings that require you to write code. Other trainings such at git-it and How To NPM you will create separate repos as instructed in the workshop.

  • Create a branch for the training
  • Create a separate folder in the repository to store your code
• Training Exercises
  • Commit each exercise to the branch
  • Consider each exercise as a feature
  • Other commits should follow Postlight's commit style
• Finished?
