Courses

I’ve taught many courses in the department. You can find some resources that I’ve shared for certain courses linked below.

COMP 1002 and COMP 1006

COMP 1002 and COMP 1006 are collectively known as Introduction to Tools and Techniques in Computer Science.

These courses are inspired by other introductory lab courses, including:

COMP 3430

We use the excellent (and free!) “Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces” textbook when I teach this course.

I’ve prepared reading notes and summary videos for some of the chapters for this book to complement the chapters themselves:

We also use one chapter from “Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment” (APUE) to talk about inter-process communication (IPC). APUE is very good, but unfortunately not free.
