ET 601 Lecture 1

The purpose of lecture notes is to outline what the instructor intends to teach. It also gives the student any reading assignments and pre lab exercises that they have to do in preparation for the lab. The material covered in the lecture and assignments given in lecture notes should help to prepare the student for the lab assignment.

Labs in UNH-M are not setup do the lab assignments. You will need a computer, either your own or at place of employment.

If you plan to do your home work assignments in C# AND you are also a NHTI student

you can download Windows XP Professional edition

For students who intend to use UNH-M computers for the labs, all software will be installed and computers will be ready to use for the labs.

For students who wish to work on assignments using their own Personal Computer, a copy of Microsoft Visual C++ compiler is included with the text. The compiler must be installed before you can do the lab assignment.

Lab Objectives

The source code for the examples in the textbook can be downloaded. Instructions are in the textbook.

You can investigate on the web a tool called Winzip by doing a web search and reading some of the info on it. It is the student's responsibility to read and adhere to the licensing agreement(s) whatever they may be. Winzip will "unzip" and "zip" collections of files in order to save space. If a file is downloaded from the web and it is zipped, (has .ZIP as the file extension), using winzip will extract the compressed files into files that can be normally accessed.
