Prerequisites

The most important requirement is familiarity with Unix and C++. I will not cover C++; if you know C (very well!) you may be able to pick up the necessary C++ concepts as you go along, but this is up to you! C++ is an extension of C with several additional features: function name overloading, call-by-reference as well as C's call-by-value, support for ADTs through classes and support for object-oriented programming, via inheritance and dynamic binding. There is a fair amount of on-line tutorial material on C++; look at the CS564 home page for pointers. If you are not familiar with even C, you should not be in this course.
