You can develop you code wherever you choose, but you
must submit your files at the end of any session where
you write or debug code, and at least once every hour
during sessions that last longer than one hour.

The test scripts only run on the Zoo.

For some of the assignments you will be given object
files to link with and these will not be available in
versions for the Mac.

Thus you may find that the best approach is to write
code on your laptop, but upload it to the Zoo when
compiling, testing, and debugging.
