Course Slides/Readers (Git) Course materials will be distributed via GitLab. We will also use GitLab Issues for questions, discussions, and more.
You should automatically be granted access to the relevant GitLab projects no later than (i) four hours after registering for the course on myStudies, or (ii) one hour after logging in to the D-INFK GitLab instance for the first time, whichever is later. If this is not the case, you should contact the course team.
Lecture Streaming and Recordings Both the lectures and one exercise class will be streamed live. Recordings will be available on the ETH video portal the day after the lecture or exercise class. General information related to lecture streaming and recording is available here.
