Virtual Machines

All the code you write needs to compile on the lab machines which run Ubuntu, a linux distribution. You don't have to install linux instead of your current operating system (OS), though. You can get a piece of software that let's you boot a virtual machine running linux inside of your OS. The same way launch a game or web browser in windows, a virtual machine is just an application you launch that then runs a whole other operating system.

• virtual box
• Ubuntu is available here, but even if you get all this set up MAKE SURE IT WORKS ON THE LAB MACHINES.

IDE

• There is no required IDE. You can use Codeblocks or Eclipse if you want, but you will be responsible for creating a Makefile for all assignments.
• If you want to sharpen your programming claws, gedit and a lot of coffee is the way to go.
• If you are allergic to GUIs you can use pico or vi, but you're on your own when you run into problems using them - but let's be honest, if you're using Vi, darkness and solitude are already your companions.

Quarantalk

In an attempt to still feel connected to my 300 or so students I'm starting a video series called "QuaranTalk" where we can still bask in bonhomie.

If you'd like to ask a question about class, the quarantine, me, or whatever you'd like to get off your chest, just go here

Date	Topic	Video Link	Notes
3/23	For Whom The Bell Tolls	Episode 1	The "you know" counter is over 9000! I messed up the math a bit I put 300 under the exponent. Should have been (2^10)*300, which still assumes zero overlap between people it was spread to Here's a helpful animation that captures my point
