In this video, I show how to work on assignments for my classes where we are using Python and Jupyter iPython notebooks for the class assignments. I show how to accept and clone the assignment using VSCode. In VSCode, if you have your Docker and DevContainers set up, I then show reopening the cloned folder in a container. Once you have your enviornment running in a container, you can work on the class assignment iPython notebooks and edit the src code python files in the assignments. I show how to complete tasks for the assignment, and check that they are correctly running and passing all tests. Then I show how you commit your work and push it to your GitHub classroom for grading.
