======Projects======

  * [[/haas/spring2014/SYSPROG/projects/groupof|"Group Of" tool]]
  * [[/haas/spring2014/SYSPROG/projects/matrixmult1|Basic Multiplier]]
  * [[/haas/spring2014/SYSPROG/projects/matrixmult3|Configuration]]

======Week 6======
  * Terminal device interaction
    * stty
    * playing with echo and canonical mode
    * termios struct

======Week 5======

  * Due to the shorter week, we're just going to continue working on our matrix multiplier:
    * basic/core functionality
    * start implementing command-line arguments

======Week 4======

  * Chapter 4
  * Possibly start on Matrix Multiplier

======Week 3======

  * chmod / chown implementations
    * observe how simple/similar they are to existing known function calls (fopen() in particular)
    * observe how relatively small the core operations are (most of the code is error checking)
  * ls implementation
    * opendir(), readdir()
    * dirent.h manual page
    * stat()
    * some talk on inodes, superblocks, FAT, filesystems in general
  * Be sure to have read up through Chapter 3, and read Chapter 4 for next week
    * Try and have the chapter sample code for pwd already typed in so we can go over it.

======Week 2======

  * files
  * command-line arguments
    * directly accessing argc, argv
    * parsing with getopt
  * started and worked on groupOf tool

======Week 1======
  * Welcome! Be sure to:
    * Read over the syllabus
    * Subscribe to the class mailing list
    * Using the [[/haas/spring2014/common/class_chat|tutorial]], set up a screen session and get on #csci on irc
  * Get familiar with logging into the pod systems, and once there:
    * opening up a terminal
    * logging that terminal onto Lab46 for class work and attendance
  * Familiarize yourself with your Opus, and once there:
    * customize it (title/subtitle)
    * add an introduction
    * create your first week content
  * Reading:
    * Chapters 1 and 2
      * be sure to implement some of the sample programs, and discuss revelations in the journal on your Opus.
  * On Tuesday we started writing a program that dealt with files. I put a copy in the SYSPROG public directory on lab46.
  * Our first two programs will be:
    * groupof program: a review / intro program, hopefully fun, that will work like the **wtf** tool:
      * written in C
      * parses command-line arguments
      * displays usage information by default
      * when given a word, looks for it in a file, displaying what a "group of" those is called
        * for example, a "group of" crows is a murder.
        * a "group of" fish is a school.
      * display an error message on lack of a match
    * matrix multiplier: likely the theme for the semester, we'll be adding new functionality to it
