We will make use of the course webpage for many aspects of this course. Much of the information on that page will only be available to current students in the class. Furthermore, we will use the web for submitting assignments and for viewing your grades.

For these reasons, we ask that you select credentials for identifying yourself for our course web page. We will rely upon your SLU userid, however we ask that you create a different password for the express purpose of our CSCI-1050 web page. Please note as well that the use of this system is rather limited and security is lax, as your password is sent and stored in the clear. (yet another reason NOT to pick the same password as for more important systems)

Background

We will be using the Processing programming language. This is installed on the machines in our classroom, and is also installed on a Linux computer system that we maintain in our department to which you'll have access. It is also an open-source language and freely available to download on all major computing platforms, so it will be very convenient to install it on a personal machine, if applicable.

With that said, we can try (but no promises) to have the software available in other ITS-maintained labs on campus if you have a preferred working space. Please let us know a bit more about your typical computing environment:

• What operating system do you prefer? Please choose Windows Family Macintosh OSX Linux/Unix
• With what operating system(s) are you familiar? (check any that apply)

  Windows family

  Macintosh OSX

  Linux/Unix

• Where is your prefered computing environment for homework? Please choose Personal computer/laptop/tablet Campus Computer Lab
  If personally-owned, what form factor do you use?   Please choose Desktop computer Laptop computer Tablet/surface
  If a campus lab, where is it located?  

• We do not assume that you have any previous experience in writing computer programs, and there is no such prerequisite for the course. At the same time, some students may have some such experience and it is helpful if we are better aware of your background.

  Do you have experience writing computer programs?

  • Yes No
  • If yes, in what language(s)?
    
  • If yes, please comment on your level of experience.
