CS505
Computer Science I for Teachers

To log into the CS department machines you need to use a remote client program. For Windows users they are available from ITS at http://www.uidaho.edu/infrastructure/its/services/software/its-tools , scroll down to the ITS Tools and follow the directions/links to install putty. If you are using a Mac a remote client program, SSH, is already installed so you don't need to install anything.

Once you have putty installed (or are on an Apple) log in using the address wormulon.cs.uidaho.edu (not unix.uidaho.edu - that's the University's Unix machine, which you can access with permission, but won't be used for this course). Use your Vandal Username and password to log in. For Apple users open a terminal window and type username@wormulon.cs.uidaho.edu where username is your Vandal user name.

For now submit assignments via email to tsoule@cs.uidaho.edu. Please include the text "Assignment X submission" in the subject header so it's clear that it is an assignment submission.

If you want to print assignments you will need to move assignments from wormulon (the CS department's computer) to your local computer. On a Windows machine the program WinSCP (available through ITS http://www.uidaho.edu/infrastructure/its/services/software/its-tools ) can be used to transfer files to your computer to be printed. On an Apple machine cyberduck is used instead of WinSCP.

Here is a short manual covering the basic Unix commands, Nano (a simple text editor), and a few other useful topics.

http://www2.lib.uchicago.edu/keith/tcl-course/emacs-tutorial.html link to an emacs tutorial. emacs is a much more powerful, but more complex, text editor than nano.

Note that this schedule is a guide and may vary as the semester proceeds.
