Several labs will involve programming assignments. Please follow these guidelines, first produced by Robert Soule, the TA for operating systems during 2006-07 fall, and tweaked by many every since. As indicated in the guidelines, please include the following as the Subject: of your message ds-lab#-lastname-firstname, where # is replaced by the number of the lab, lastname is your last name in lower case, and firstname is your first name in lower case. For example, if I was submitting lab2 the subject would be ds-lab2-gottlieb-allan. Please send only the source and documentation (e.g., README) files packaged as one tar, tar.gz, or zip file.

Lecture Notes

These notes will be shown in class. They are designed for viewing, not printing. As a result, the printed page breaks may occur at awkward points. I do not advise printing them, but if you do, I suggest waiting until the class has been given as I am likely to revise them when preparing for class.

Other Resources

  1. My implementations of the book's files
  2. Sun API Documentation
  3. A brief Java generics tutorial
  4. A very serious FAQ on Java generics.
  5. Data structure animations
