One more thing I want to mention before we get started with the crash course, is the importance of

backing up your files for this course.

If you're in the middle of your project and you end up losing your files or corrupting them, that can

have a very bad effect on your motivation and might make you want to give up teaching you proper version

control in this course, though, would sidetrack things too much, and I already created a YouTube

video about that topic, which I attached in the resources of this lecture.

If you're still a beginner, setting up version control sounds extremely annoying and like a big challenge,

so I don't expect everybody to get into this right away, but I at least want you to keep this in mind

as something to strive for.

As you become more experienced.

Having proper backups of your project can save you weeks of work, and also allows you to be less afraid

to make changes and more open to experiment because you know you can always roll back to your last commit

if something goes wrong.

So that's just something I want you to keep in mind.

So if that sounds interesting, please check out the YouTube video and set up your version control.

However, this is not a fixed requirement for this course.
