Missing videos & slides for Wednesday

Dear all,

due to my absence last week, I failed to provide the video and slides until just now. I have now made them available through the CMS and the regular link for videos, please take a look before Wednesday :-)

Clarification: lecture dates

Written on 15.05.23 by Ben Stock

Due to a small bug, the course's main page noted that there would be no lecture on May 17 (it technically specified May 17 would be both a lecture and no lecture). Just to avoid misunderstandings: we will have a regular meeting on May 17, but no meeting on May 24.

Small bug in CSP Playground

Written on 13.05.23 by Ben Stock

Due to a small bug in our logic, the base.html requires a change also for playground to work. Please make sure you update that accordingly (as we did in the live demo) before asking our crawler to check your instance.

PyCharm and Reminder for Gitlab

Written on 17.04.23 by Ben Stock

For our course, we will exclusively support PyCharm for the tasks. History has shown that random deployments of Linux subsystems, zsh, and the latest version of Arch Linux lead to situations where students are stuck for all the wrong reasons :-) Therefore, our infrastructure introduction will explain the next steps of your development life as part of the Screecher team within PyCharm. 

For this to work, we ask two things if possible: install PyCharm Professional. You can get a free license from JetBrains as long as you are a student (i.e., have an email address from a recognized university, see https://www.jetbrains.com/community/education/#students). Also, while I usually appreciate your undivided attention during the Q/A sessions, feel free to bring your laptop and follow along with what we'll be showing you. 

Also note that you must login to the Gitlab once until Wednesday's lecture. Otherwise, you might not get a VM set up for you and will therefore be unable to participate in the exercises (and, thus, the exam). We will be removing students who do not actively participate in the exercises from the course. 

All other relevant information about the exercises will be shared on Wednesday (including the release of the first task). As a reminder: the lecture recording might take some time to become available, please attend live if you can.

Hi all,

we meet tomorrow at 10:15 in CISPA's lecture hall for the first lecture. Note that the lecture will not be streamed live and uploads of the videos may be delayed.

Also, I realized only today that there was a misconfiguration in the self-assessment tool, which incorrectly told students that the lecture was full. If you know anyone who is still interested in attending the lecture, feel free to let them know that there are still slots available and that the self-assessment tool has been fixed.

See you tomorrow!
