Summary

Whew! That feels like a lot, but we’ve accomplished lots of different things in this lesson. You should be able to:

  • Install software on your personal computer (e.g., pandoc and VS Code).
  • Write plain text documents (including code and formulas) using structured markup formats (Markdown and \LaTeX).
  • Convert plain text documents to different formats (e.g., docx).
  • Define your own strategy for organizing your files.
  • Build a directory structure with a visual file explorer for the purpose of organizing your files.

Your next step should be to start working on the assignment for this week!
