1. The C Programming Language, Second Edition by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie.

Online access is availabile for Hopkins students for 5th and 6th editions, which is what we will use. To get to the electronic versions, first go to the Johns Hopkins library website. Search for "Deitel C++" and click on the first result. There are two electronic versions listed on the right side, under the "FIND IT" icon. One is 5th edition and one is 6th edition. Click either to start reading it.

AP CS, 600.107, 600.112 or equivalent.

This course teaches intermediate to advanced programming, using C and C++. We will cover functional programming techniques using C in the first half of the semester. We will study object-oriented programming and design patterns using C++. Topics include C/C++ data types, arrays, bitwise operations, strings, recursion, dynamic memory allocation, polymorphism, inheritance, templates, and exceptions.

• 
  To familiarize the trainee with basic concepts of computer programming and developer tools.
  
• 
  Write portable, modular and safe C code.
  
• 
  Develop complex object oriented systems in C++.
  
• 
  Use a variety of libraries for C and C++.
  
• 
  Work in a Unix environment.
  
•

5% - participation.

Assignments

There will be 7 programming assignments. Check the "Assignments" section for assignment details and due dates. If not otherwise specified, all assignments are individual assignments. Submit your solutions to Blackboard. Your solution must compile and run on the ugrad unix server. No credit will be given if your code does not compile.

No late assignment. Solutions to assignments will be available as soon as they are due. Write your program incrementally. If you do not have the perfect solution, submit the your working code with a README.txt file, in which you explain what parts you did not complete.

You are required to attend all class sessions. If you have to miss a class, let me know in advance. You are responsible for all the materials while you are absent. I will stay in the classroom until 12:00pm to answer your questions. Contact me if you need extra help.

All work turned in for grading or review by the instructors must be the your own work. You can reuse classroom examples and code from the textbook. But most of your code, you have write yourself from scratch. Presenting work that is not your own will result in disciplinary action. For more information, see the guide on "Academic Ethics for Undergraduates" and the Ethics Board web site.

Any student with a disability who may need accommodations in this class must provide me with an accommodation letter from Student Disability Services (385 Garland, studentdisabilityservices@jhu.edu, (410) 516-4720).
