Course Description:

'' Knowledge of C, and of the UNIX API, is important for students pursuing study in Software Engineering. Modern languages such as Java have been especially designed to avoid features of C that are considered to be "dangerous in the wrong hands", such as pointers and low-level bit manipulations. Students who have never worked with C cannot fully appreciate these design decisions.

Many algorithms are expressed as C functions, and a knowledge of C helps to read and understand them. Dynamic languages such as Perl are written in C. Students who know C programming have an advantage when using and extending Perl compared to students who do not know it.

Students who expect to develop applications for UNIX-like platforms need exposure to the Single UNIX Specification and the IEEE POSIX (Portable Operating System) standard. This knowledge transfers directly to other "POSIX-compliant" operating systems such as Windows and OS/390. Students who intend to develop embedded, hard-real-time applications for data acquisition, motor control, and robotics need to know C in order to gain the performance and control capabilities that only this language provides.

This course is intended to provide an accelerated survey of C programming, with an eye to providing students with the knowledge they need to explore and practice using the SUS/POSIX system interfaces for programming on UNIX/Linux systems. The course will then build on this foundation to explore techniques for application of the UNIX system interfaces. ...''
