Introduction:
In this lab, it was an introduction to this class and what we will be using in the class and labs. The lab allowed us to be comfortable in accessing where we would be uploading our homework and labs on yilectronics.com, practice using vim, and making sure that Vivado was installed.

Task 1:
In this task, we needed to make sure that we organized our webpage to make it look clean by using links and creating a new link for CE 433, as seen in Figure 1.

Discussion:
By completing this lab, we were able to gain comfortability in accessing where we will be uploading our homework and labs, practiced using vim and the many commands that are available, and getting a little bit more familiar with Vivado. This was a pretty straightforward lab. Overall, this lab was a good refresher that I needed so that I will be prepared for future assignments and labs.
