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 an on-line, web-based course.
- If you have questions about this course please refer to the syllabus.
If you are looking for the syllabus for academic year 2013-2014, it will be similar tothe one or the current academic year. The primary change anticipated will be that the Sarwar book will no longer be a required text.
- If you have questions about web courses in general, please read ODU's Student Orientation for distance learning.
- If you are having problems registering for the course, you might find these notes helpful.
