CSC 10200:Introduction to Computing (C/C++),Syllabus
Course Description
The structure and operation of a computer; concepts and properties of an algorithm and a programming language. Introduction to procedural programming in a modern programming language, such as C. The main theme is that programs can be reliably designed, proven, and refined if one pays careful attention to their underlying logic, and the emphasis of the course is on the logical evolution of working programs from specifications. Students are introduced to logic-based programming methodologies which are at once powerful and practical

Software
The official compiler for the course is g++, not the windows visual studio compiler. On windows you can install MinGW and MSYS to get a compiler for C/C++. A more full featured option on windows is to install Cygwin . If you are bold, or using linux already most distributions will alow you to install g++. One recommended friendly linux distribution is Ubuntu . If you MUST use an ide you can use Eclipse IDE CDT for all platforms. Dan McCracken has posted a tutorial on how to get started installing and using Eclipse. Eclipse is software for editing, and debugging your program. It is not actually for compiling code.
