(Friday, November 18, 2005) You may have noticed in the javadoc for my implementation for Assignment 6 that the constructor for View has two arguments, the model and the controller. The controller argument is not actually used. The reason it is there is that in Assignment 7, the View needs to know about the controller since when the View becomes a graphical interface, it will be getting all of the input, and needs to use the controller to process commands that are input.

(Wednesday, November 16, 2005) In the description of the commands in the Maritime simulation, there were three forms of the 'sail' command. As you may have discovered by running the simulation, there are actually only the first two forms. The third form, used to direct a pirate ship to a specific location, is actually a command named 'goto'. This should make it easier to write code to distinguish the commands, and has been corrected in the Assignment 6 description.

(Wednesday, November 16, 2005) Before you can register for CIS 313, you need to declare your major as CIS. See Cheri in the CIS office in Deschutes for the change of major form.

(Monday, November 7, 2005) On Thursday, November 10, at 3:30 PM, there will be a special colloquium. Come learn about some of the research possibilities in CIS for undergraduates.

(Sunday, October 30, 2005) Feel free to send email to the prof or GTF if you have questions about the assignments, topics in class or lab, etc. It would be best to send email from your uoregon account to make sure that it gets through.

(Thursday, October 20, 2005) A solution to Assignment 3 is now available for viewing - see the link on the assignment page. If you want to, you can use my code as a starting point for Assignment 4. Remember to make sure that the code you submit for the assignments compiles without errors or warnings, and that you have thoroughly tested the functionality required by the assignment statement.

(Monday, October 10, 2005) Here are some more examples of Unix I/O redirection to supplement the discussion last Friday.

(Friday, October 7, 2005) Tom will have an office hour on Monday, October 10, from 2-3PM in his office (Deschutes 245).

(Monday, October 3, 2005) The ballots I passed out in class today are for voting for what you think is the best graduate research poster. The posters are throughout Deschutes Hall and the ballot has a map. The ballot is due tommorrow (Tuesday, October 5), so if you have time, take a look at the posters, learn something about the type of research in the CIS Department, and vote for your favorite.
