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.
IMPORTANT BOOK INFORMATION!!!!
There's been a small, BUT CRITICAL, change between the previous version of the
textbook (Version .80 or lower), and the current version (.90, or higher). Within the code, and the book, we
will talk about locations within a city. The city resembles Seattle, in that it has north-south AVENUES,
and east-west STREETS.
Here's the change:
In the prior version, location was specified as AVENUE, THEN STREET.
In the newer version, location is specified as STREET,
THEN AVENUE.
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.
