The actual schedule may vary slightly depending on the topics and exercises chosen by the instructor.

You will need a terminal with Git. For Windows users, you may like to make use of Git for Windows, which is also available through the software centre (as simply ‘Git’). Mac and Linux users should already be good to go without any additional setup.

You will also need a Bitbucket account, which you can create at https://bitbucket.csiro.au/.
