Tentative Schedule for ECS 160

Tentative Schedule
(Subject to change)

Class room slides are posted here, but are subject to being revised. Some of them are old, and will be updated right after class. Please ask if you notice they haven't been updated, thanks.
(D) refers to discussion section.

Note that most links here are to slides, not notes. Take notes in class. Most questions in midterm/finals are right out of notes.
DON'T SKIP LECTURES. This class seems easy (even fun) but don't be fooled. Even the non-technical parts (Process, requirements, GUI design are tricky; if you don't come to class, you risk misunderstanding concepts, and getting the midterms and exam questions wrong). There is no required textbook to fall back upon.
