The
programming assignments in this class will be based on Linux. We will have four
machine problems.
Graduate
students MAY take this course for four hours (or 1 unit) instead of three
hours. Those taking the class for more credit are expected to do more work. In
this case, the one unit students will do a project.
CS
241 and/or other system programming course is the
prerequisite for CS 414. Since CS 241 uses C, and it is the prerequisite for CS
241, C will not be taught in this class. If you do not know C, you are advised
to pick up one of the C programming books.
11–11:50am
Monday, Wednesday and Friday in Room 1302 Siebel Center. Lectures cover only

expected to attend lectures, and will be responsible for all announcements made
during lecture, on the cs414 web page, and on the newsgroup, class.cs414. It is the students'
