Final Project in PDF, in postscript, and in html is due ON Wednesday May 7 between noon and three p.m. in (SEM 255A). One of the three TAs will be there during that time.

Team work opportunity in lab assignments: Students again have the opportunity to work on this project individually or in teams of two (2). In the case of team of two, only one submission is expected per team. The grade for that one submission is given to both of the team members. Students are encouraged to work on teams, rather than working individually. After you decide whom you will work with, then both people on the team must send their TA an email. In your email, write also your teammate's full name. The team assignments do not apply to homework, quizzes and exams, unless otherwise stated.

Welcome to CS 135's web page. You can follow the links on the left to individual section pages, instructor pages, TA pages, and assignments. We will update this page with current news, course administration notices, and assignments. For now note the date and time of the final exam Sat May 10 from 9:45 - 11:45 a.m. in WRB2030 . You must be able to make that time. Check for conflicts now!

Use the CS I Forums (link on top right of the page and on the left) to post your questions and get quick responses. To prevent spammers, there is a user name and password to get to the forums page. The user name and password will be announced in class and lab. The instructors TAs and other students monitor these forums and are a source of advice, help, and suggestions. Do not post assignment code in the forums.

We are using the Dev-C++ SDK because it is free, open source, and easy to install and use. However, if you prefer macs or linux boxes, we recommend the the eclipse SDK because it is free, open-source, and runs on all major operating systems. It also supports multiple languages. Follow the tutorial on how to install cygwin and eclipse on windows PCs. Mac and linux users already have the G++ compiler and do not need to install cygwin - you will need to install eclipse however. Send us email or post on the forums if you have trouble, we'd like to get you setup on your home PCs/laptops as early as possible. Here is a copy of the cygwin cd-rom disk that you can burn and use. Run the setup.exe program on the burned disk.
