Many of the materials posted here were shared and refined by many staff members in previous offerings of CSE 333. This version of the course was significantly influenced by Steve Gribble, Hal Perkins, Justin Hsia, Hannah Tang, Travis McGaha, and Chris Thachuk.
This website is derived from simple-courseweb-template, maintained by the CSE Lab and originally written by Xi Wang. The calendaring code was originally written by Adam Blank in 2017 for their common-course project and updated by Aaron Johnston in 19su.
Though we cannot list them all, we are also extremely grateful for the contributions of countless TAs and students who have given feedback and improved CSE 333 from quarter to quarter.
