What is hypermedia or hypertext????

Taken from Roy Fielding (the father of REST)

When I say hypertext, I mean the simultaneous presentation of information and controls such that the information becomes the affordance through which the user (or automaton) obtains choices and selects actions. Hypermedia is just an expansion on what text means to include temporal anchors within a media stream; most researchers have dropped the distinction.

Hypertext does not need to be HTML on a browser. Machines can follow links when they understand the data format and relationship types.

 So...
 Hypertext means text with links in it (which give you further options or actions)
and
Hypermedia means media with links in it (i.e. video, text, pictures) - which give you further options or actions.

Hmmmm..... Maybe radio advertisements that direct you to their website for more information could even be considered as "hypermedia"? I don't think that a strict definition is really needed though. As long as the general idea comes across.

Installing Git on windows

The following will guide you roughly through getting git setup on windows and getting a github account setup, so that you can start using git right away ;)


Install MSysGit

Generate a private/public key pair
http://help.github.com/msysgit-key-setup/

Then create your online repository:
Go to https://github.com, sign up for an account


Add your public key to your github account:
Click "account settings" => "SSH public keys" => "Add another public key", and copy and paste the public key you generated (the whole thing) - from the "id_rsa.pub" file.

Create your repository
Click on "dashboard" => "Create a repository" => name your repository, and continue => follow the instructions shown :)
