Course Discussion Board (optional, but encouraged):

• For the discussion board, we took an initial class list and registered everyone with their @uw.edu email. Thus, you need to log in with your UW login. If you joined the class later, please contact the course staff and we will add you.

Turn-In Instructions: The "Turn-In Form" links below take you to a Google Form where you enter your name and upload your files. These forms are restricted to UW accounts and you will need to log in to UW G Suite (G as in Google) with your UW credentials. These are different from any personal Google account you have and different from your UW CSE Google account. If you have not yet activated UW G Suite, you will need to do so first. If you are not signed into to your UW account you may see a page like this. To fix, go to google.com and click on the circle in the upper right to add/switch account.

• More information on UW mailing lists is at http://www.washington.edu/computing/mailman/

CSE 341 Videos

• The default assumption is that videos are optional because they cover the same material discussed in some combination of class, recitation section, and the written reading notes. They can nonetheless serve as a useful resource if you are confused on a topic. We might occasionally "assign" a small number of videos in order to let class focus more on specific topics. We may also point interested students to a small number of "optional" videos on related but less-essential topics.

Links to Other Resources

• The course materials on this page (lectures, sections, homeworks, installation instructions, videos) are designed to provide what you need for the course except for some details that you can look up in standard-library documentation or users' guides for particular languages. Links for such information is below. We also provide links to useful books and tutorials that provide alternate explanations. We will not follow any textbooks closely, but you may still find them useful. Suggestions for additional links are welcome.
