textbooks:

• Duane A. Bailey, Java Structures, sqrt(7) edition, 2007. The book is also available online or if you'd like to purchase a paper copy, come see me and I'll tell you how. Required.
• Mark Allen Weiss, C++ for Java Programmers, Pearson Prentice Hall, 2004, ISBN 9780139194245. Highly recommended.

general information:
The course title says it all... this course is an introduction to the basic computer science data structures. In addition, you'll get more hands-on experience with Java and C++ as well as general advanced programming concepts such as object-oriented design and complexity analysis. The catalog description can be found here.

We will briefly review some Java basics at the beginning of class, but this class has cs51 (or AP Computer Science) as a prerequisite. If you have any question if the class would be appropriate for you feel free to discuss this with myself or any of the other CS faculty.

Emacs, Make, and Subversion:

• Our own highly-abbreviated introduction.
• The Gnu Emacs Manual (probably more than you want to know). There is also an emacs quick reference guide.  For the Macintosh computers in the lab, we use the Aquamacs version of emacs.
• The Official Subversion Book. Chapters 1 and 2 and the “High-speed Tutorial” in Appendix A ought to be enough. There is a more concise page about Subversion from HMC. The Subversion project has a home page and a FAQ.
• The Gnu Make Manual. Chapters 1 through 3 are sufficient for our purposes. The Harvey Mudd College Computer Science Department has a short and helpful page about make.
