Introduction

DDC Day Book

Theme for GitHub Pages content used in the DDC Java bootcamps & related programs.

DDC Day Book is a GitHub Pages theme by Nick Bennett, customized extensively from Leap Day by Matt Graham, and incorporating ideas from Jason Grimes’ Jekyll Chapterbook. It is intended for use in the Deep Dive Coding Java-related training programs, 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 Book 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 and documentation style guide, supported by this theme and its supporting components, for the DDC Java training programs. Please note, however, that this site is not intended for use as a coding style guide; that’s the role of the DDC Java Style Guide.
