Overview

DDC Day is a GitHub Pages theme by Nick Bennett, customized extensively from Leap Day by Matt Graham. It is intended for use in the Deep Dive Coding Java + Android Bootcamp, in the publication and distribution of tutorials, lecture notes, homework assignments, practical exam problems, etc. It may also be used for student project documentation sites.

Markdown content is supported by the kramdown parser. Code highlighting is done by the Rouge code highlighter; the current list of language identifiers recognized on fenced code blocks can be found here. Rendering of mathematical expressions written in $\rm\LaTeX$ is supported by the MathJax library.

The content of this site is intended not only to introduce the DDC Day theme, but also to present a basic set of guidelines for writing curriculum and documentation content that will be published in GitHub Pages using this theme. In other words, these pages present a curriculum & documentation style guide, supported by the DDC Day theme, for the DDC Java + Android bootcamp. Please note, however, that this site is not intended for use as a coding style guide; that is the role of the DDC Java+Android Style Guide.
