We covered C, C++ and Perl during the semester (roughly three to four weeks for each language).
I kept a summary of the topics discussed during each lecture
in my Course Diary (click on a day in the
calendar to get the lecture notes for that day).
Note: that
there were many errors and typos in these notes. Please refer
to more recent version of the online notes.
Note that the diary underwent additions and changes during the semester. If you find any errors or omissions in the diary, please let me know.
