Starting with Some Small Stuff

Administrivia

I've had a request to move this to Tuesdays.
At least one of you can't make Tuesday at 1:15 pm.
I need to leave right at 3:00 pm each Tuesday.
I will be gone some Tuesdays.
What do you think?

Review

What did we learn last week?
- Some basic principles of *nix

Simple *nix Tasks, Continued

Given a CSV in which each line has
LastName,FirstName,Assignment,NumericGrade
find the the five highest grades on homework 2.
Given an HTML file, find the URLs of all images.

Important *nix Tools

We'll make a list of *nix tools every programmer should know at least a little about.

C Concepts

We'll also make a list of C concepts that every programmer should know at least a little bit about.

Make

Why Make:
- If you need to type complex instructions, you should write them down.
- If you've written them down, you should be able to run them automatically.
- Generalize: And, hey, many instructions are common anyway.
What else do you know about Make?

Looking Ahead

What do you want to do next week? Some time this semester?
