Questions

Here are some questions for you to consider this week as you do your readings. Try to come up with some answers for yourself as you go:

If I find code on the internet, what am I allowed to do with it?
Is source code subject to copyright? What about a website?
As a student, if I create code at Seneca who owns the copyright, me or Seneca? What about if I'm working at a job?
How do I copyright my work?
How long does my copyright last in Canada?
What is open source?
What open source do I use?
How do I write a good blog post?
What is RSS? What is an RSS Feed?
What does it mean to "fork" a project?
What is Slack and How do I use it?
Who else is taking this course? How do I work with them?
