Updated Midterm Study Guide
Conceptually, this is the exact same midterm study guide
that you downloaded a couple days ago. Details-wise,
I've corrected a number of "avenue & street are backwards"
sorts of errors the the code samples.
IMPORTANT BOOK INFORMATION!!!!
- There's been a small, BUT CRITICAL, change between the previous version of the
textbook (Version .80 or lower), and the current version (.90, or higher). Within the code, and the book, we
will talk about locations within a city. The city resembles Seattle, in that it has north-south AVENUES,
and east-west STREETS.
Here's the change:
In the prior version, location was specified as AVENUE, THEN STREET. In the newer version, location is specified as
STREET,
THEN AVENUE.
- There are two very similar versions of the book
available - one was published by the author, and
available from the campus book store. The other is
published by Thompson Publishing, and available
everywhere (bookstore, Amazon, etc). You need ONE
book, and it shouldn't matter which version you get.
The bookstore-only version is cheaper, and so I'd
recommend that one.
Interesting Interviewing Page
Slashdot has an interesting meta-article on interviewing in
the high-tech industry. Definitely interesting
reading.
There are a ton of books available to you, as
Cascadia students, for free, through Safari Books
Online. Safari has books from publishers such as
O'Reilly, and is way cool. Here's the URL:
http://proquest.safaribooksonline.com/?fpi=&uicode=uwash
Also, some people have had trouble using the Safari Books
Online. Hopefully,
this document
will clear up any problems.
Cascadia Announcements:

affecting morning classes, there will be
notification on the local media by 5:30 a.m. You may
also call the main campus number: 425-352-8000

Should the weather deteriorate during the day, you
may check online, listen to the main campus message,
