Agenda
- From what John put on the page below, I made up a list of topics. If anyone turns up to this lecture people can decide who does what topic and so on.
- Pointers
- Array-based Lists
- Linked Lists
- Binary Search Trees
- Hash Tables
- Trade-offs
- Big-O
- Amortized Time Analysis
- State-space search
- Parsing
- Make up a table like this:
Note: The UPI's below are just there as an example <html>
| Topic | Notes | Animations | Screen casts | Quality Control |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pointers | rwan064, jham005 | <jham005/td> | rwan064 | rwan064 |
| Array-based lists | ||||

Agenda
- I suggest you use the time today to look at what needs to be done for the HTTB and who will do what.
- Consider making a list of the course topics, and what resources will be needed for each.
- Everyone can create screencasts, but the more capable programmers amongst you will be needed to create animations and simulations.
- Once the screencasts start to appear you will find some are crisp and clear and others are confused or boring.
- Filtering out the poor quality contributions is very important in producing a useful final product.
- For each section, assign someone to be responsible for quality control.
- Do keep minutes, and post them on the wiki as usual.
Minutes
Minute taker:mgha023
- Umang from SESA chaired the meeting. He put up the agenda and we discussed it for a while.
- After the class had assembled, there was a question as to how one could access the Linux server to run the 'C' commands. Braedon came forward and explained how to log on to the linux server via PuTTY.
The procedure is as follows: Unixhome:login.cs.auckland.ac.nz
~$ ls (This will show you the current directory and it's contents)
~$ cd ../
~$ cd echome/ec250/lab2 (Here, you are specifying the path to the folder where your file is located)
To run the code, type the folowing:
~$ gcc filename.c -o filename (press enter)
~$ ./filename (press enter)
-And that should run it...
- Next, there were questions as to what SESA (Software Engineering Students Association) was and how to become its member . Rick and Umang came forward to explain the activiities of SESA. SESA holds Shadow classes (absolutely free Java classes!) for its members. If you want to become a member of SESA, Shikhar ( in our 250 and 251 class)is the treasurer, so give him your name, Student Id , UPI and a membership fee of $5. You also need to sign up online.
