No C or Unix Experience
CS 105: No C or Unix Experience
C++ and Unix are covered or used in various introductory
courses at HMC. Those who have no experience face a steep
startup in CS 105. There are a few pointers to assist such
students.
-
Students who do not have the HMC experience, will NOT be
paired with a similar student.
-
The CS 105 tutors are willing to help with Unix and C
questions.
-
Usually, the steep startup is only through the first two
labs (debugger lab seems to even the playing field).
-
CS 70 has an early lab (usually first week) where Unix is
the major topic. As long as the CS 70 professor is notified,
they are glad to have some other students.
-
There are numerous books on C and Unix.
Good Unix books:
-
Unix in Nutsell
-
Learning the UNIX Operating System
Good C books:
a
-
C Programming Language
-
Practical C Programming
