To immerse yourself in relevant and important aspects of library API, documentation, OS facilities, and other systems-level programming functionality, aided by the “Understanding UNIX/Linux Programming: A Guide to Theory and Practice” book that we will spend the semester exploring.

Each week, throughout the semester, the aim will be to focus on a chapter in the book:

• reading the chapter
• discussing the chapter (in the class discord)
• experimenting/playing with the content in your own code
• implementing some UNIX tool or program that incorporates content covered in the given chapter (and where applicable, builds upon previous chapters). While not exclusively limited to programming problems at the end of each chapter, they are a good starting point (clear with me any deviations from that pattern).

The outline of semester progress:
