A note on checkpoints
Since checkpoints are take-home evaluations, we cannot require you to complete them without using a computer. However, the purpose of the checkpoints is to prepare you for the final exam, during which you won't have access to a computer (other than the one inside your noggin, of course!). So if you're finding that you need a bit of tinkering or trial-and-error to solve the checkpoints, you should sit down and spend some time reviewing the material. When the final rolls around, you'll need to be completely comfortable with solving these kinds of problems entirely on paper.

Lecture code
There was a question today about getting access to the code from
lectures. When there's code, we put it in a Mercurial repo at
/usr/class/cs107/samples/lectXY. For example, you can clone
today's lecture code by running the following:
hg clone /usr/class/cs107/samples/lect12
Make sure to read the Mercurial logs, as code often changes during lecture!

Light Monday Reading
If you're in need of a Monday night coding break, check out this page for a hilarious send-up of programming language history. The best one, of course, is the writeup of your new favorite-but-hate-it language: C.

CS107 is the third course in Stanford's introductory programming sequence. Our CS106 courses provide students with a solid foundation in programming methodology and abstractions and CS107 follows on to build up their programming maturity and expand breadth and depth of experience. The course will work from the C programming language down to the microprocessor to de-mystify the machine. With a complete understanding of how computer systems execute programs and manipulate data, you will become a more effective programmer, especially in dealing with issues of debugging, performance, portability, and robustness. Topics covered include: the C programming language, data representation, machine-level code, computer arithmetic, elements of code compilation, optimization of memory and runtime performance, and memory organization and management.
The class has three lectures a week and a weekly lab designed for hands-on learning and experimentation. There will be significant programming assignments and you can expect to work hard and be challenged by this course. Your effort can really pay off - once you master the machine and advance your programming skills to the next level, you will have powerful mojo to bring to any future project!
Lectures: Mon, Wed, Fri 12:50-2:05pm NVIDIA Aud
Labs: Wed/Thu various times Gates B08
Lecturers: Michael Chang and Nate Hardison
TAs: Kent Koyanagi, Bryan McCann, Shahriyar Pruisken, Junjie Qin
