</head>
<body>
 <h1>Hello World!</h1>
</body>

Project Directory Structure

Throughout the course, we'll set up several practice projects. For each practice project, we'll create a project directory. We'll also create a main project directory to organize the practice directories. Here are the example directory structures that are used in this course. There are two sets of directory trees for the project owner role and the project member role.

Note: The screenshots below are taken using the Mac OS computer. The name of the parent directory for each user's home directory differs by OS.
