This is what I plan to cover, and when. It will undoubtedly change as the quarter progresses. All readings are from the texts unless otherwise indicated. “zyBook” is the Programming in C zyBook, “C Notes” is the C Notes book. “Shell book” is the shell text book. “§n” means chapter or section n of the named book. “[n]” means handout n. “Dn” means discussion section n.
