Online Resume Webcasts Introduction

Webcasts for the Online Resume Project

Need some additional help getting started with the Online Resume Project, or simply curious and want to learn a little bit more? Watch the following Webcasts!

These webcasts are recordings of live Q&A sessions and demos. They have been edited to be shorter and more relevant to newer rubrics. As always, you should read the appropriate rubric for your project thoroughly before you begin work on any project and double check the rubric before submitting. They videos were made by Udacity's coaches. Think of them as extra supplemental materials. You can find an archive of our webcasts in their entirety in the discussion forums under Webcasts Summaries.

Here you will find two webcasts about Online Resume Project and the Rubric, two videos on related topics (the map and jQuery), an advanced topic on Version Control - Git, a video about associated tools, one with various Q&A and a video with some extras.
