What's New and Still Relevant

"The UNIX Programming Enviroment" Document by Stanford U. TAs which covers the tools and techniques you need for CSI333 and CSI402. It is used in Stanford's Programming Paradigms Course CS107 which, like CSI333, is the 3rd Computer Science Major programming course.
Fall 2007 Second Quarter (Oct 18-Dec 11) Unix System Administration Course (I-CSI445)
The CS Teaching resources from Stanford include fine materials on pointers, C-programming, linked lists and trees.
Good free book by Ian Parberry on algorithms and data structures, for moving ahead to CSI403/CSI503. Select "Problems on Algorithms"

McGraw Hill's LC3 Simulator Download Page. Using the Windows version on UAlbany Info. Commons and Main Library Computers:

Note: You have write access to the "My Documents" folder and to the "S:" network drive.
Download the simulator software LC301.exe to a place you can write to.
Find and Double-click (to run) LC301.exe, which is a self-extracting executable file. You must change the destination where you extract the files to a new or existing folder where you can write.
After extracting the 12 files, "Open" which really means RUN the executable file Simulate.exe
Tip: Create a folder in your S: drive and extract the simulator software there. Then, you won't have to download and extract it each day or so.
