Class Mailing List: There will be a mailing list for this class which will be used for disseminating information. See Homework 1 for instructions on subscribing. You should subscribe from an email account that you are in the habit of checking regularly; I will assume that you have received and read anything that is posted to this list. You may also post questions about assignments and problems in the book to this list.

Class Objectives:

Programming: Each student will have an account on emerald which runs the Linux operating system. The computer lab is located in ET213.  The combination for the keypad lock will be given out in class when accounts are handed out. Getting Started explains how to access your account.

You may develop your programs on whatever computer is most convenient for you. However, they will be submitted and graded on emerald (using the gnu C++ compiler) so be sure to transfer them to emerald and check that they work there before you submit them.
