CS 190: Freshman Tools and Resources (Spring 2017)

Purpose

The Purdue CS 190 Tools course was started in Fall of 2013 by the Computer Science Undergraduate Student Board (USB) at Purdue. The course was a response to the need of new CS students to learn basic tools to be professional and efficient in their other CS courses. The course focuses on practical skills required to be a good programmer,s starting with a functional knowledge of UNIX shells, and encompasses editors, debuggers, and source control software. Our goal is to give students what they need early in their careers and put them on a path to success in Computer Science.

Structure

CS 190 in Spring 2017 is taught for sixteen weeks, alternating a lecture or a lab each week. It consists of a one hour lecture and a one hour lab, alternating each week.
