Autumn 2003

Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Washington

Syllabus

Tentative list of topics to be covered:

Grading -- approximate percentages

Late Policy for Homework

Unless otherwise noted, if an assignment is turned in after the beginning of the class at which the assignment is due, but within one hour of the deadline, 10% off.  Between 1 hour and 1 day late, 15% off. Between 1 day and 1 week late, 20% off.  After 1 week late, 10% per additional week late.
 

Policy on Collaboration

WARNING: Unless indicated otherwise in writing, each assignment is to be done by each student individually and independently.  Students are encouraged to study together and help each other in debugging.  However, sharing a solution with another student before the assignment is due or looking at someone else's solution and subsequently modifying your own before the assignment is due is inappropriate.  Student solutions judged by the TA and instructor to be suspiciously similar may lead to prosecution under the College of Engineering's policy on academic misconduct.
 

Texts


 

References on Common Lisp

There are a number of online resources for Common Lisp. Here are some of them.

References on Java (Note that Java is not required in CSE 341 this quarter)


 

References on ML

ML is available on the instructional Unix machines in the CSE department. We are using a version called "sml" or Standard ML of New Jersey. To use it on a machine such as Fiji, just type
sml

References on Prolog and Logic Programming

References on Visual Languages

 A few VL references are here:

References on Perl

 Here are a few of the many online resources for Perl: An excellent book introducing Perl is Robert Sebesta's A Little Book on Perl.

General References on Unix and  HTML


For those of you who are new to Unix, you might like to read the local ACM chapter's tutorial on Unix or look at this web site.

For HTML, you can look at web page sources in Netscape by clicking on View and then selecting Page Source.
You can also read about HTML here.

For information on the Emacs text editor check this local page, which covers the Windows versions.  Here's the GNU Emacs online manual.
 
Miscellaneous: There is a web site where you can see one programming problem solved in over 500 different programming languages. The problem is to print out the words to "99 Bottles of Beer." Since visual languages are missing, here is a visual language solution in StageCast Creator . Maybe it's missing because it solves a different problem: "99 Bottles of Root Beer." (StageCast Creator is intended as a programming language for minors.)
