CSC150H -- Fall 2010

Accelerated Introduction to Computer Programming

Overview

Welcome to the course webpage for the fall 2010 term of CSC150H, Accelerated Introduction to Computer Science. The official course description is as follows:

An accelerated course covering object-oriented topics from CSC108H1 (classes, objects, methods and fields, and program design), as well as all the material of CSC148H1. Suitable for students with a solid programming background in Turing, C, Scheme, or a similar language, who are willing to accept a heavier workload than in CSC108H1 and CSC148H1.

The course information sheet can be found here. This is required reading.

Please also check the course bulletin board at least a couple times a week, especially in weeks that assignments are due. This is also required reading.

Is this the course for you?

For those of you having difficulty choosing between CSC108, CSC148 and CSC150 the department has prepared some helpful advice. Feel free to ask me if you have further questions.

Labs and CDF help

You are welcome to use any of the CDF labs to do your work. They are located mostly in the Bahen building: BA3200, BA2200, BA2210, BA2220, BA2240, BA227. BA3175 and BA3195 may also be available, but these are the closed labs used for lab sessions for a few courses. Please read the guide for new students for more information.

If you have questions about the lab machines or using the software, please try the Help Centre . The TAs there are most helpful.
