C Programming Resources
C programming will play a major role in this class so start exploring.
- Beej's Guide to C Programming
- Humorous, irreverent, reasonably complete and ad free
- Wikibook on C Programming
- Beginning to advanced features with some pictures to supplement tricky concepts like arrays/pointers.
- The GNU C Programming Tutorial by Mark Burgess and Ron Hale-Evans, PDF or HTML
- A little scattered but decent.
- Learn C Programming from ProgramIZ
- Decent and has a wealth of examples though lots of ads
- C Programming Tutorial by Mark Burgess, circa 1999
- A bit dated and questionable code style but fairly complete and no ads, single web page
Getting Started
- Review the Course Syllabus
This will be our "contract" for the semester and contains tons of information on the flavor the course.
- Examine the textbook website here: http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/
Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective, Third Edition by R. Bryant, D. O'Hallaron, Pearson, 2016.
This required book has a lot of resources associated with it so it is worth examining the textbook website as well.
- Set Up your Coding Environment
- Review the CMSC216 Coding Environment Guide and start experimenting with logging into the Grace server to compile and run C code,
