Labs实验操作

这些实验操作练习是按照课程Lessons进度一步一步进行验证和展示相关技术的，同时有附带的视频资料， 与每个实验室相关的视频和主题页面链接在每个实验室页面中，以供进一步阅读或查看。
There is a lab activity for nearly every class in the first half of the semester. The labs contain the basic steps you need to go through to understand the technical concepts covered in class that week. You should complete the steps outlined in the lab activity before class each week, so that you understand practically what it is we’re talking about. Document your lab work on your blog. Include any insights or problems, and details not covered in the class or the lab that you think will be useful for your fellow students and future students in this class.
There are also many labs for topics not covered in the syllabus. Think of all the labs as recipes for techniques that you might need in your projects.
