Meet and Greet

[mikeizbicki]

Welcome to big data!

In this thread, we'll all introduce ourselves and practice using github issues. We'll be using github issues for all our in-class communication, so it's important that you understand how the system works. In particular, you need to understand github's markdown formatting syntax.

To practice, please reply to this post with:

1. your name (including what you'd like me to call you if it's different than in sakai)
2. your favorite pokemon within inline code (using single backticks) and
3. a quote you like placed inside a code block (using triple backticks).
