+Introduction
+===
+
+One of Carnegie Mellon University's most widely attended class is 15-122,
+Principles of Imperative Computation. 15-122 contains a capstone assignment
+called the C0 Virtual Machine, which involves implementing a program that
+allows the user to run arbitrary code in the language in which 15-122 is
+taught, C0. The implementation of the virtual machine (C0VM) is not an easy
+task - it involves higher level thinking and a deep understanding of the
+abstractions associated with running arbitrary code. Because it is difficult,
+the CDB (C0 Debugger) hopes to improve the learning process by making
+visualization and interaction with a working implementation of the C0VM more
+accessible to 15-122 students. This involves creating a working Javascript
+version of the C0VM, implementing visualizers for relevant parts of the
+assignment, and developing the interface for student-based interaction with
+the application. With development time and effort, the CDB has the opportunity
+to change the future of imperative computation education.
