Course Commencement : 15 July 2008

Welcome to the course!
Please note an extra hour of lectures is scheduled to follow immediately from the regular lecture in the first week. Be prepared for a marathon 3 hour lecture to kick the semester off.

Pre-requisite: Entry to Masters level study (e.g. MIT, MAIT, MNC, MMC etc.)
Assumed knowledge includes: (i) Competency in some programming language such as C, C++ or Pascal, Fortran etc. (ii) Basic familiarity with object-oriented design and programming techniques, UML (iii) Basic familiarity with Linux/Unix is an advantage. Students without a formal background in Unix-based operating systems are expected to become familiar with the basics in their own time, prior to the commencement of the course. Important things to learn include (but are not limited to): (a) the creation, copying, movement and removal of directories and files; (b) movement around the directory structure; (c) the basic use of applications from the command line such as sftp, zip, compress, tar; (d) file editing with a command-line text editor such as vi.

Please note that in the past this unit incorporated lecture material on Software Engineering, Object-Oriented Programming and UML. This is no longer the case. Students seeking a unit that covers this material will need to consult their course advisors for an alternative.
