Announcements

Happy Holidays!
I am declaring the tournament to be an eight-way tie. Thanks, however, to all who participated: James Kuan (cs61b-ad), Scott Henderson (cs61b-bq), Cody Smith (cs61b-cs), Eric Benjamin (cs61b-dr), Omair Kamil (cs61b-ge), Thomas Yiu (cs61b-hk), and Sarthak Shah (cs61b-jx).
When logging in from home, please use only Solaris machines; the Java installations on other kinds of machine are dubious. You can get lists of possible hosts from here. We suggest the "login servers" mentioned there.
Use the command 'bug-submit xxx' to get help with a bug or programming problem for assignment xxx (e.g., 'bug-submit hw1'). It will bundle up all the files in the current directory and send them to us. You must have a file called ERROR that contains a description of your error in that directory.
Use the re-register command if you need to change your registration data.
More hard-copy lecture notes and homework assignments are available outside my office, or in the bins in 283 Soda.
Old announcements.

About viewing documents.
Previous pages from the summer session are still available.
Perhaps you are wondering why this page is so plain.

Some of you may be curious about Java and other topics from this course in greater detail than we will cover them, or might want alternative approaches and points of view. Here are books that some have found useful. None of them classifies as either "required" or "recommended" for the course, just "possibly of interest." You may find them in local bookstores or on the Net.

About Viewing Documents

Course documents available through these Web pages are either plain text files, Postscript files, or PDF (Portable Document Format) files. You can read the latter using Adobe's Acrobat Reader (at least version 3.0). Acrobat Reader is available on the machines in our instructional cluster as the program `acroread', and is also freely downloadable over the Web for PCs, Macs, and UNIX systems (click here, if it is not already installed on your home machine). If you are running on an appropriate machine, use the PDF files for on-line viewing.

Most documents are on-line versions of things that we have handed out in class or that are available from Copy Central. Please do not print these here. Students doing so in the past have tied up the lab printers and wasted enormous quantities of paper. We will try to see to it that paper copies are available; tell us if you have trouble getting them.
