CS 252 is an introduction to Unix with emphasis on the skills necessary to be a productive programmer in Unix, Linux, and related environments.
The focus of this course is on learning enough Unix for students to function productively in CS courses at the 300 level and beyond. Because working directly from a workstation console in a CS Dept lab is no longer the dominant mode of interacting with our Unix systems, this course will emphasize connecting via the Internet from a remote PC to our Unix systems. Both text-based (telnet) and window-based (X) connections will be covered.
This is a self-paced course delivered via the Internet and may be taken for P/F grades only. There are no regularly-scheduled class meetings. Students will be able to work through the material at any time1
Although there are no deadlines associated with CS 252 itself, other CS courses may list CS 252 as a co-requisite, and instructors in those other courses may impose their own deadlines as to when they expect portions of CS 252 to have been completed.
For example, a CS 250 instructor may want to give an assignment on October 15 in which the g++ compiler will be used, and so may inform CS 250 students that they must have completed the CS 252 assignment on compiling using g++ by a October 7.
