Content Developers

The system is designed to make it as easy as possible to update the syllabus/ other content

Updating Course Information

All information is stored inside the _data folder (everything else is a template, and not worth tampering with)

If you're trying to clone this website for another class (or if attempting to make modifications to course details - instructors, TAs, and tutor names), then modify _data/courseInfo.yml

If you're attempting to change the syllabus, everything is contained in the _data/syllabus/ folder. The operations that you can do are

1. Adding a new week's worth of content by creating a new yml file in the _data/syllabus/ folder (simply copy an existing week.yml file, and modify as required)

2. Adding lectures within a week, or updating links inside the course; simply change the required thing in the file

Building and Pushing

1. Make sure you have Ruby installed (and gem as a result)

2. Install the required plugins

   gem install jekyll jekyll-paginate

3. run your own server

   jekyll serve

or

4. Export to HTML

   jekyll build

Development

The Prob 140 website is sourced from Hyde, and is built on top of Jekyll. We attempt to minimize the number of modules used, and most of the customization to the site comes from the data files. Have fun playing around.
