February 5

• A reading/research task was assigned in today's lecture, to prepare you for an important part of the exam. In case you missed it: read about the design patterns of Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides, and be prepared to name and briefly describe as many as five of them on the exam. You can begin your research by viewing these design class diagrams. Some of these patterns are discussed in the text too, and there are many, many online sources of information about them.

February 1

• Read Introduction to Subversion for CS 50 that Professor Cappello prepared for this course in winter 2007. This reading is the first step of individual homework assignment 3, handed out in today's lecture.
