Computer Science 23
resources


You and google are your best resource. In this class, you'll need to get quick answers to sometimes trivial programming
questions at 2 AM in the morning; questions on APIs, unix commands, bash scripst - go to notes and if not there the web.

If you find a good resource send me the link and we can share it.

There are a number of good pointers to online resources in the lecture notes.
