Welcome!

You’re looking at the course blog, where I will post news and information. There is also an entry on Moodle. The plan is to use Moodle for only two things:

• a course discussion forum
• the gradebook

You will not be using Moodle for submitting assignments. Instead, you’ll be using the Linux machines in the Edlab (http://www-edlab.cs.umass.edu/), which you can access remotely using SSH. I suggest you verify you can log into these machines as soon as possible. If you can’t, please contact system@cs.umass.edu (and CC: me, liberato@cs.umass.edu), and they should be able to help you.
