ECSC 311: Script and Systems Programming

Welcome to ECSC 311, Section 1, Spring 2023. In this class we will study interacting with the operating system through programs. This will include a study of the application programming interface (API) for linux/unix and an examination of script programming. The focus of this class is to produce utility programs to solve systems administration problems.

Students are expected to produce working programs in all programming environments discussed in this class. As such you are expected to understand basic programming concepts and be able to adapt to new languages and new environments.

This class meets MWF 2:00 to 2:50 in Ross Hall room 135.

I am the instructor of record for this class. Only the instructor of record for this class can issue a final grade.
