Greg Hale (CBMM Application Developer) will be leading two activities during MIT IAP 2016. Everyone in the CBMM community is invited to attend.

Give version control a try, in a laid back environment that's about you, your experiments, your class projects, etc. Getting over the hump with git can make life a lot easier if you keep multiple copies of files, want to try out experimental changes without fear of breaking things, or collaborate with others. You don't need to take a class to learn git, but it can be nice to have an ice-breaker, so bring along your own homework or personal projects and we can get set up.

We will run three sessions, you probably only need to attend one. But if you come to more than one, you might already feel capable of helping newcomers.

Some start-ups now spend more time looking at Github profiles than CV's. No matter how small your personal projects are, putting them up on Github can be great boost your career.
