We are using the same software tools as in CP104 and CP164. You should keep your earlier Eclipse workspaces for reference and create a new workspace for CP264.
We use the C programming language and the Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment). We will provide you with more information about the computing facilities in your first lab.
C is a programming language that is widely used professionally. Eclipse is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) program. Together with the CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling) plug-in it eases the task of writing and executing programs written in C. Eclipse is freely available from the Internet, and we provide instructions for downloading and installing them in the Resources section of this page.
You are responsible for storing all your assignment and lab work on your own floppy disks, memory sticks, or other media. We strongly suggest that you keep at least two copies of your work at all times, for floppy disks and memory sticks can fail, or be lost. You will be given storage on the Novell network for course purposes, but the Department accepts no responsibility for the security of data thus stored and does no backups on that data.
