Schedule

This schedule is tentative and subject to change. Slides will be posted after lectures.

NOTE: These slides are not meant to substitute for lectures.

We will use Byrant and O'Hallaron, Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective, 3/ed as the textbook for this class. Additional resources for this book and other course references:

• Available at the library as a reserve for 2 hours
• Book website for students

A good introductory reference for modern C is the book by Jens Gustedt, Modern C.

If you already know C and want to learn more, I highly recommend the book by Robert Seacord, Effective C Programming: An Introduction to Professional C Programming.

References for each lecture are in the slides.
