Below is the course schedule. A Green day indicates that the emphasis will be on UNIX / OS / command-line. A Blue day indicates the emphasis will be on C programming. A Teal day indicates the emphasis will be on a combo of C + UNIX + command line stuff. A Red day indicates an exam. The Topic for each day approximately indicates the topic that the class will be on. The Prep for each day indicates the work you need to have completed BEFORE watching the video content (ideally). TLCL stands for “The Linux Command Line” by Shotts and PIC stands for “Programming in C” by Kochan.
NOTE: The schedule is broken down into MTWTF Schedule. Though this is an online asynchronous course, you should attempt to watch the videos and do the readings based on the schedule shown here. Of course you have the flexibility to mix things up if necessary.
