Week-by-Week Schedule

Click on a week to see its contents. Click on an entry to see its details, where available.

The sequencing of lectures and precepts is not likely to change significantly, however handouts and links may be updated as the semester progresses. Recordings may not be added to each entry, however they will be posted to Panopto Video on Canvas when available. Each lecture recording should be available to view the afternoon or evening of the day it occurs. The incomplete set of precept recordings (1-13 and 23) are already available. Note that because these precepts were recorded in prior terms, some details may have changed. Recordings are intended for review: they are not a substitute for regular attendance.

Weeks start on Mondays and are indexed from 1.

Slides
Optional supplemental videos from Fall 2020. These are a lot, and aren't required, but we do think it's worth spending time getting comfortable and proficient in bash now rather than being inefficient and frustrated in the environment throughout the term.

This is a lot, but two calming notes:
1 - the reading assignments don't continue at this frenetic pace all term, Weeks 2 and 4 are the bulk.
2 - much of this content will already be familiar to you from another high level language, e.g., Java.
