The first programming assignment of the quarter, Assignment 1: Welcome to C++!, goes out today. It's due on Friday, January 17th at the start of class (11:30AM). This assignment explores general C++ coding, strings, recursion, debugging, and the Stanford libraries. We hope you have fun with this one!

LaIR shifts will begin this Sunday at 7PM. Feel free to stop by for help! We highly recommend reading our handout about debugging strategies for advice about how to debug your programs and how to ask good questions in the LaIR.

Good luck!

Welcome to CS106B! We've got an exciting quarter ahead of us and you're in for a real programming treat. Over the next ten weeks, we'll explore fundamental techniques in modeling and solving problems using a variety of programming techniques and evaluating their tradeoffs. By the time you're done with this class, you'll have a firm grasp of problem-solving techniques and will ready to start applying your skills in areas that you genuinely care about.

In the meantime, feel free to check out the course information handout and syllabus to learn more about what this class is all about, the prerequisites, and the course policies. If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to email me at htiek@cs.stanford.edu with questions.
