• for all tutorial groups, Assignment A1 is due on Friday October 4 at 5PM in the CSC444 drop box on the second floor of the Sandford Flemming building. Friday tutorials should give their assignment A1 directly to their TA’s.
• if you were not able to attend both of the tutorials so far, please read the tutorial and assignment materials for the first two weeks (see below)
• since you are developing your components in either C++ and JAVA, you may not have choices of components in the same language in your own tutorial groups. If this is the case, you may buy components from other groups. When we have a full list of teams, the components they are developing and in what language, we will let you know.
• some additional lecture and tutorial notes have been added in a separate sections below. Please note that at the end of each lecture’s slides you have listed the texts to read for that topic. These notes do not replace your readings –they are simply added to be helpful.
