Assignment 1 was straight forward for the tasks that we were supposed to do. Joining teams and posting/replying was working well and did not have any issues. Same thing for joining the github organization account as I already had a github account connected with my DePaul email. The biggest difficulty was getting Java to work in VS Code, I downloaded a newer version and I started having issues with it giving me errors for no reason. There might be an issue with paths and the JDK but after googling around for an answer and having no luck I just decided to use Eclipse which I knew would work. Lastly I feel optimistic about this course and I am really looking forward towards the collaboration aspect of it.
