Summary

About the Class

The class will try to cover various topics depending on time availability and instructor's discretion. The objective of the class is to teach C programming language and advanced topics, using a Unix/Linux operating System. There are additional topics that may be covered if time allows. However, this is never the case in a six-week term.
