Collaboration Tools.
- We will use Microsoft Teams (similar functionality to slack, if you are familiar with that) for more streamlined project group communications. You are already enrolled in the class team. Visit oit.duke.edu/help/articles/office-365-get-started-using-microsoft-teams to download and get started.
- Duke provides access to easy to use and secure file sharing through Duke Box box.duke.edu.
- For collaborative software development with version control, we strongly recommend the use of Git: https://git-scm.com. You can see a comprehensive reference here: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2. We will primarily use git through the coursework Gitlab repository: https://coursework.cs.duke.edu.
