Dynamic memory management. Polymorphism and templates. Standard library. Useful tools. \subsubsection*{Caffeinated Crash Course in C} \addcontentsline{toc}{subsubsection}{Caffeinated Crash Course in C} Steve Summit, sipb-iap-cccc@mit.edu\\ Wed Jan 25, 4-7pm and optional 8-10pm, 1-150\\ C's influence is deeply pervasive in today's software systems, and in the many currently-popular programming languages derived from C. In fact, C plays a role somewhat similar to the one once played by assembly language: even if you don't do any actual day-to-day C programming, knowing something about C can be a huge help in better understanding the other systems and languages you are working with.\\ This class will attempt to cover the entire C programming language in 3 hours, in the grand tradition of SIPB's IAP caffeinated crash courses. Prior programming experience, preferably in a C-like language (C++, Java, Perl, etc.) is very definitely assumed. The focus will be on understanding why the language is as it is, and on the implications for existing programs written in C or for work in newer programming languages derived from C.\\ There will be a special bonus 2-hour section following the first half, for those whose brains have not yet leaked out of their ears. The instructor is an MIT alumnus and maintainer of the C FAQ list on the 'net. %-----------------------------------------------------------------------------% \subsection*{Programming in PostScript} \addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Programming in PostScript} Bayard Wenzel, sipb-iap-postscript@mit.edu\\ Mon Jan 23, Wed Jan 25, Mon Jan 30, Wed Feb 1, 11am-12:00pm, 26-204\\ No enrollment limit, no advance sign up.
