<summary> Welcome to the XPUB homepage with links to tools and webpages we use in the course. </summary> An important part of the XPUB course is considering the implications of the technologies and tools we use and how we use them. In this spirit, rather than relying heavily on cloud services, XPUB (self-) hosts and maintains many of the servers and services that the course uses. Students learn and practice skills of programming and server maintenance in order to gain first hand experience with the materials of software and networks.
