Week 1 Lecture Notes:

Topics for Discussion

1) Visual C++ 6.0 will be the compiler for the course.  This will not be available until mid-September, so until then the course will focus on theory and background.  Once version 6.0 of Visual C++ is available, we will begin programming.

2) Tonight's Lecture will focus on background on how the course is going to be administrated.

3) Reading Assignments: For the next month, we will be concentrating on chapters 1-5 of the Savitch Book.  Please read these chapters as early and as often as you can.  These chapters are critical to your understanding of basic programming in C++.

4) Everyone will receive Nova1 Unix Accounts.
