I'm a first semester Grad School at Pace. My major is Computer Science. To be honest, I don't have any experience working in the field. However, I do have some programming experience. I'm happy to say that Emmett was fantastic in explaining how to create video games. I was blown away with how much he really is into this. The wealth of knowledge that he possesses is amazing. I hope that he does another workshop at Pace. He's phenomenal.
Wow, thanks Taleb. I'm really glad you enjoyed the workshop. Hopefully I'll be doing more work with Pace in the near future!

I actually used a similar technique for a course I taught on rapid web prototyping, it turned out well: https://github.com/amontalenti/rapid-web/tags

The other cool thing about setting up these tags is making it easy to use Github's compare view to see the differences between any number of steps. e.g. in his example, here is the difference between step 0 and step 1 of his tutorial:
