Welcome to CS 252.
The goal of this course is to provide students with enough Unix to allow them to work productively in CS courses at the 300 level and beyond. Particular emphasis is placed on Unix tools and procedures that support the kind of programming students will face in assignments in those later courses. Because relatively few people work directly from a Unix workstation console in a CS Dept lab, this course will emphasize connecting via the internet from a remote PC to our Unix systems.
This is a self-paced course delivered via the internet. It may be taken for P/F grades only. There are no regularly-scheduled class meetings. Students may work through the material at any time, including taking automatically graded assignments. The course syllabus contains further details on the course policies and procedures.
If you just want to read the Unix tutorial, without the assignments, use the "Unix Tutorial Docs" button below (if asked to log in, do so as "guest", no password). You do not need to be an ODU student to do so.
All ODU CS students are welcome to participate in this course site, including trying the assignments and participating in the on-line forum, even if they are not registered for the course. Use the "Enter CS252" button to begin.
Except where otherwise indicated, all materials for this course, hosted under the http://cocoon.cs.odu.edu/~cs252 domains are
