Lab Schedule

1. Basic unix commands
2. AFS
3. Work on programming project - For this lab your preparation is reading programming assignment 1. You will complete a program to compute student totals.
4. The editor "emacs". What to do in lab.
5. The editor "vi"
6. Debuggging
7. Work on programming project - For this lab you must have read programming assignment 2 and the discussion group posting in the thread for Program 2. Complete the pre-lab review questions to show you understand the programmming assignment. During lab (if you haven't already done it) you will need to complete at least the simple decoder (click here for more info) described in the dicussion group posting. Submit the simple decoder program using WebCT.
8. Program Testing
9. Lab quiz 1
10. An Integrated Development Environment (probably Eclipe: eclipse.org)
11. Work on programming project - For this lab you must have read programming assignment 3 and the discussion group posting in the thread for Program 3. Complete the pre-lab review questions to show you understand the programmming assignment. During lab (if you haven't already done it) you will need to complete at least the "warmup 1.1." program described in the dicussion group posting. Submit the warmup 1.1 program (ar any WORKING program) with MORE parts of the program completed than those from the warmup.
12. Understanding a simple C program - For this lab you must read pages 1-20 of "On to C". (A pdf version of "On to C" can be found in the WebCT materials for this class, under "Course Content/Lab Materials".) There are also some review questions for you to answer in WebCT. During lab you will be required to translate a small program written in C into Java. The C program you will translate is guess.c and can be found in /afs/cats/courses/cmps012a-cm/lab12.
13. Writing a simple C program - For this lab you should re-read pages 1-20 of "On to C". (A pdf version of "On to C" can be found in the WebCT materials for this class, under "Course Content/Lab Materials".) During lab you will be required to translate a small program written in Java into C.
14. Lab quiz 2 - For this quiz you will be expected to write a very small C program. You will have to do this on your own (without your partner) but you are welcome to use any written materials you choose to bring with you to lab.
15. Work on programing project
16. Arrays in C
17. Lab quiz 3
18. A simple Graphical User Interface (GUI) using Java.
    1. Read the "Applet Exercise" starting on page 91 of JBD,
    2. look over the solution to program 3,
    3. and the starter GUI for InBetween in /afs/cats/courses/cmps012a-cm/lab18,
    4. then answer the pre-lab review questions/quiz.
    You can run a complete GUI solution by typing copying /afs/cats/courses/cmps012a-cm/lab18/inBetween.jar to your computer/directory and then typing "java -jar inBetween.jar". You CANNOT do this is using ssh to connect to a cats machine. You need to run the program on your computer (either at home or in the lab). You should be able to in fact just "double click" the inBetween.jar file and have it run.
19. Work on programming project
20. Lab quiz 4
