Slides and Text Outline for 2/22 Have Been Uploaded

Please see the post below this on the typo that was in there. The slides have been correctd.

Major typo on page 6 of the slides outline

Alicia just pointed out to me that slide 6 in the PDF of the class slides says that project 1 is due on May 8th. That should be March 8th.

Test on 2/15

This is a reminder that there's going to be a test covering chapters 1 through 4 on Thursday the 15th. It'll be open book, multiple choice, and given online.

Class Assignment 02/08/07

Can you post the requirements for the assignment we attempted in class on thursday?

Thanks.

Try and Read Chapter 3 by Tuesday (Feb. 6th)

Please try and read chapter 3 in the book by Tuesday. You don't need to have understood everything in the chapter. (If you could understand everything in the book just by reading it, what would you need me for?) But this week will be a lot easier if you've read it.

Again, about the part on "Bitwise Operators" (bottom of page 42 through middle of page 48): you can skip that. It's mainly about how to manipulate values at the binary level, and you won't be doing much of that in this class.

Tuesday we'll mostly be reviewing what we learned (or tried to learn) last week and putting it into practice by writing mini-programs that use a lot of the concepts we talked about.

A Request for Photos

I'm trying to learn everyone's name and I'm wondering if everyone can send me a picture of themselves, along with their name (if it's not clear from your email address). Doesn't have to be a good picture as long as I can see someone in there who resembles someone I normally see in class. You retain full copyright on your photo and I promise not to sell the pictures to glamour magazines. But it'll make the name-learning thing a whole lot faster for me.

Unless, of course, you don't want me to know your name, in which case it's fine if you don't send a picture ... though it will make the grading process at the end of the semester a little easier if I know who you are.

Please send the pics to roth.nick@gmail.com

Thanks
