Some Things to Know

Welcome to CS330. If you’ve made it here, you’ve found where I’ll be posting occasional thoughts on the class. Feel free to take a few minutes to read the blog this is part of. Here are a few places of note:

• The course web site contains useful information including lecture notes, homework assignments, and policies. I encourage you to use it.
• Blackboard will contain grades.
• I’ve created a wiki for discussion, collaboration, and whatever else suits you. If you don’t know anything about wikis, then here are some starting points.
• You’ll probably want to get a copy of DrScheme for you computer. Once you download and install Dr. Scheme on your computer, it should ask you to choose a language when you run it for the first time. Make sure you set the language to “Essentials of Programming Languages (2nd ed.).” Ê
• You’re going to need to know Scheme and the text no longer has chapters that introduce it. Fortunately, there are some handy online references.
