During this semester the students in the Introduction to Computer Programming course will be participating in the project: "Engaging Introductory Programming Laboratory" (EIP). In this project, sponsored by the TUES program of the National Science Foundation, students will be able to work on laboratory experiences where they will practice the concepts and skills learned in class and obtain attractive products that will motivate them with the possibilities that Computer Science offers them.

-Each of the laboratory experiences will use libraries and programming sections that have been developed by professors and students of the Computer Science program of the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus. When the laboratory experience is completed, the student will not only reinforce the concepts learned in class, but will also get to know products that he or she will be capable of producing with a bit more knowledge and experience in computing.

In today's laboratory experience you will learn how we will work in the upcoming meetings, how to access the files that will be used, and how to turn in the work. You will also learn to manage the basic elements of Qt, the platform that will allow us to develop and execute projects in C++.

-For the laboratory, we will mostly use the part for editing programs in C++, but there is also an option to design graphical interfaces. This option was used to incorporate the code that presents the graphical interfaces for the laboratory experiences. Learning to use this option is not part of this course, but you can learn to use it on your own. In https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_6PcmpWnkFBOXJxVDlUNEVfOFk/edit you can find a presentation, prepared by the student Jonathan Vélez, that shows basic aspects on how to use the option for designing graphical interfaces.

In each laboratory session, you will download the Bitbucket folder that contains the files for that laboratory experience and you will save them in the `Documents/eip` directory you created in Exercise 0. To download the corresponding folder for this laboratory experience, open the terminal, use the Linux commands to move to the `Documents/eip` directory and write the command `git clone https://bitbucket.org/eip-uprrp/introduccion.git`. Go to the `Documents/eip` directory and verify that it contains the `Introduction` folder.
