Please do so right away. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>2) The PhP reading assignment for Monday's class is chapters 2-3 of the textbook. If you don't have the book yet, you are still responsible for the material covered in those chapters, which includes: conditions and branches, loops, functions, types, user-defined functions, arrays, strings. For now you can skip regular expressions, dates and times. Obviously there is not enough time to cover these topics in a lecture format. So I will plan to note a few of the main differences with Java and we will then discuss whatever questions you have about the PhP syntax. I'll call on those who already know PhP well (Jonathan, Alex, Turner, Back, Antonio, Trishan) to help explain some of the concepts. And we will try to go through a couple of simple examples together.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>3) We will also talk about Extreme Programming (Jon Damon) and Stallman's Manifesto (Ariel). We've created a Notes page on the Course Wiki (<A href="http://www.cs.trincoll.edu/sahana_proj/wiki/CPSC225/Notes">http://www.cs.trincoll.edu/sahana_proj/wiki/CPSC225/Notes</A>). I'd like to suggest that discussion leaders for these weekly topics create a page for their topic and add it to the Wiki. I've put up some notes from last week's topic (Catherdral and Bazaar) as an example. In terms of style, try to emulate the Wikipedia style for these notes pages.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Ariel and Jon: Let me or Trishan or Antonio know if you have any problems with the Wiki. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Turner: Can you or someone at Wesleyan forward this message to others who are planning to take the course. Ask them to send me an email so I can add them to my roster. So far you and Bach are already registered on the list serve.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Alex: Can you do the same for Conn students. So far the following students besides yourself have registered on the listserve: angelo.brichetti, apalladi, ewint, gefed, tjsan. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Conn Students: Please send me a personal email (<A href="mailto:ralph.morelli@trincoll.edu">ralph.morelli@trincoll.edu</A>) so I can get your full name and add you to the roster.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thanks,</DIV><DIV>See you all Monday.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>-- ram</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
