EE 5C is entitled "Intro to UNIX and C" in the UCLA course catalog. It is designed to be an introductory course to the UNIX operating system and C/C++ programming. We have extended the course since Fall 1997 so that it covers the basics of C++ and object oriented programming in addition to the traditional modular programming approach in order to cope with the latest trend in the development of computer programming languages. However, the C/C++ programming language is very comprehensive and requires me to teach the material at a somewhat "accelerated" pace, in order for to maximize future use of the language. Therefore, the student should be prepared for this. If it were up to me, I would stretch out the instruction over two quarters, but that's not possible.
