Class Details

This course serves as a guided introduction to the Unix operating system and a variety of software tools. Students in this course will work on Unix workstations, available in the Department’s laboratory. By the end of the course, students will be familiar with Unix and will be able to use Git as a collaborative tool. As a final project, students will work together in teams to explore an API of their choice. The exact topics to be covered may vary depending upon the needs and desires of the students. The course is designed for individuals who understand basic program development techniques as discussed in an introductory programming course (Computer Science 134 or equivalent), but who wish to become familiar with a broader variety of computer systems and programming languages. This course is not intended for students who have completed a course at the 200 level or above. Morning classes.
