Linux Programming Interface, Michael Kerrisk. No Starch Press, 2010. This book is monster-size. Don't scream: we're covering only selected topics, and I will let you know exactly which chapters to study. The hardcopy version comes with free mobile versions, or you can opt for just the mobile versions. Use discount code 74961897 if you buy directly from No Starch; do this if you want the mobile+hardcopy bundle or just the mobile versions. If you want only the hardcopy, consider amazon and our bookstore in addition to the coupon code on No Starch. If you want to download the book's source code and some sample chapters (the first two of which we'll be reading!), check the author's website. C Programming: A Modern Approach, K.N. King, W. W. Norton and Company, 2008 Other Books I've Found (not required!) |
Welcome to the course website for the summer 2012 term of CSC209, Software Tools and Systems Programming!
The course is delivered through 2 lecture hours a week, plus (mostly)-weekly labs.
Important Links
To help us avoid running around trying to find things, I've collected all of the important links for CSC209 and put them here. Note that there are two locations for marks: assignment marks are in MarkUs and everything else is in the CDF Student Website. There are also links to PeerWise and our discussion board.
- MarkUs. MarkUs is where you will submit your assignments and labs, and is where you will obtain feedback and grades on assignments. Log-in with your CDF username and password.
- CDF Student Website. This is where you'll find midterm grades. Log-in with your CDF username and password.
- PeerWise. This is the repository of multiple-choice questions we are building this semester. You'll have to click Registration to sign-up for PeerWise. When prompted, our course ID is 6193, and your Identifier is your U of T student number. I hope you will find question-authoring and answering others' questions helpful; I've written a small PeerWise Getting Started Guide that you may find helpful.
- Discussion Board. The 209 watercooler! It is available for help with lecture material, lab clarifications, and general course discussion. It also contains a section for announcements, which is required reading.
