Outline of Class 30: Human Factors, Revisited

Miscellaneous

• Read column 2, "Associative Arrays" in More Programming Pearls.
• Read the man pages for grep and sed.
• Sign up for presentations. If there aren't enough slots, I can add one for the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
• We may have a sociological survey at the start of class today.
• I will be in tonight (Wednesday) from about 7:30 to 10:00pm, and most of the day tomorrow (Thursday). Feel free to stop in and ask questions. I'll be working on a book chapter, but am still happy to speak with you. However, I may give rather short answers.
• Unfortunately, grading has been further delayed by this book chapter.
• More Programming Pearls has gone out of print. If you're interested in selling or donating your copy to the department for the next session of 223, please let me know.
• Mr. Schnell points out that a commercial Java profiler can be found at http://www.optimizeit.com/
• He also notes that the documentation on the freeware version he's installed can be found at http://www.inetmi.com:80/~gwhi/ProfileViewer/ProfileViewer.html

A Computerized Survey

• Since a student in another class used the first few minutes of class for a paper-based survey, we used class time to discuss the design of an electronic survey system.
• Further notes to be added later.
