Style guide

Each section begins with a recommendation regarding what to include in content as you share it on the Coop. Please feel free to submit your own original materials, as well as materials created by others (assuming you have permission to share).

At the VSD lab at the University of Washington, we have started using [www.github.com Git Hub] as an online repository for some of the teaching resources we use (e.g., pdfs, slides, word docs, etc). If you would like to contribute to a larger repository follow the instruction (Link to be added).
