Week 1

Welcome! Be sure to:
- Read over the syllabus
- Subscribe to the class mailing list
- Using the 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.
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
