Meet and greet thread
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:
- your name (including what you'd like me to call you if it's different than in sakai)
- your favorite pokemon highlighted in bold and
- a quote you like placed inside a code block (ensure that you use triple backticks to get a code block, and not single backticks to get inline code)
