Welcome to Byte Academy
We've put together this program to get you all on the same footing before entering. You will be learning some basic git, Unix, JavaScript, and Python. Our goal is for you hit the ground running when you come to campus.
The resources will build upon each other to whatever extent they can. A lot of it is horizontal to other skills. So if you are stuck on something, feel free to move on and come back to it later.
