Final Exam Study Guide

This is really just a list of topics - make sure to read the fine print (the disclaimer), make sure to study everything we've seen so far, and make sure to bring some pencils & erasers!.

Interesting article by Charles Petzold

The title is 'Does Visual Studio Rot The Mind?' - definitely a worthwhile read, and makes a lot of good points. Also has some interesting tidbits on upcoming Windows changes.

Example .CS file for pre-class exercises

This document will help guide you in how to set up your pre-class exercises file, so that you can put all your work into a single .CS file, in a single solution/project. In order to use this file as a CSharp file, you need to right-click, select "Save Target As", and save it somewhere. Then (using Windows) rename the file, and remove the ".txt" from the end (making the file PreClassExercisesExample.cs)

Groupwork guide

This document will help guide you in what to do for the group work, wherein you analyze other students' code.
This document contains code fragments from other students, which you should comment on in the BlackBoard discussion forums. Post your comments in your group's discussion board!

Open Programming/Web Lab Hours

Rooms 230 & 231 is used for open-lab time, so that you can get work done here at school with your classmates and friends in other programming classes.

Help for people doing homework at Cascadia
The various file servers here at Cascadia have been experiencing some instability, and it looks like we may be experiencing more in the future. I've put together a document detailing some strategies & tricks for continuing to work productively, despite the outages.

Class Orientation
This class is partial online, and partially in person ; it will be important for you to understand exactly what is expected of you, and this document should help you understand that.

Link To Blackboard
Blackboard is a "Course Management System", a software package that will be supplying some additional features, such as discussion boards etc.
Please note that this is NOT the normal Blackboard URL for Cascadia -- this class has been moved to the new server already, and so if you have other classes that use Blackboard they most likely will be located on a different server.

In short, if you wish to reach the Blackboard support for this course, follow the above link :-)

Homework Check-In Procedure

You will be submitting your homework for this class, using a source code control program called SourceGear Vault.

Note that you can't use this method unless the instructor has created a Vault account for you - if for some reason you do not yet have an account, email Mike & he'll give you an account.

Interesting Interviewing Page
Slashdot has an interesting meta-article on interviewing in the high-tech industry. Definitely interesting reading.

There are a ton of books available to you, as Cascadia students, for free, through Safari Books Online. Safari has books from publishers such as O'Reilly, and is way cool. Here's the URL:

http://proquest.safaribooksonline.com/?fpi=&uicode=uwash
Also, some people have had trouble using the Safari Books Online. Hopefully, this document will clear up any problems.

Cascadia Announcements:

Printing Limit: Each student is allowed to print 600 black and white, and 30 color pages per quarter. After that, you can purchase an additional 600 sheets (from the cashier, in Enrollment Services) for $20

In the event of inclement weather affecting morning classes, there will be notification on the local media by 5:30 a.m. You may also call the main campus number: 425-352-8000 to hear a message that will be updated with the latest Cascadia closure information. You may also go online to www.schoolreport.org and click on Cascadia Community College to get the latest report. Should the weather deteriorate during the day, you may check online, listen to the main campus message, check the media to hear news about closures or class schedule changes.
