+===== March 19, 2009 =====
+The Laboratory is in Prism on Monday March 23 4-6pm. So office hours will be in the Lab!
+The main purpose of the Lab is to make sure that you are comfortable with all aspects of the [[http://docs.eiffel.com/eiffelstudio/tools/eiffelstudio/guided_tour/index.html|EiffelStudio tool]] including:
+  * Browsing clusters, classes and features. Targeting and retargeting. Text view, contract view, flat view, interface view.
+  * Using the debugger. Set a breakpoint, execute one step at a time, examine the heap etc.
+  * Writing tests with ESpec
+  * Generating proper formatted documentation (''html-style'' and ''rtf'' style)
+  * Deriving BON class diagrams showing client-supplier and inheritance relations.
+  * Understand all aspects of ''bank_account3'' (see SVN) and slides.
+Follow the [[http://docs.eiffel.com/eiffelstudio/tools/eiffelstudio/guided_tour/index.html|Tutorial]] and use ''bank_account3'' in the SVN to check out the features.
+We will not be answering any questions having to do with the **solution** to assignment 1.
+===== March 12, 2009 =====
+The ECF file for Assignment 1 has changed to
+   <library name="espec" location="$ESPEC\library\espec.ecf"/>
+instead of
+   <library name="espec" location="$ESPEC\espec.ecf"/>
+This is so that we can use the same ECF file whether we run on Windows or Linux. The environmental variable in both cases is set to point to the ''espec_simple'' folder.
+   Prism: $ESPEC=/cs/home/sel/espec_simple
+   e.g. on Windows: $ESPEC=c:\espec_simple
+Note: Make sure to clear the cache when obtaining a new zip file from the SVN, e.g. on Firefox do: Tools → Clean Private Data.
+===== Sunday March 8, 2009  =====
+[[assignments:a1|Assignment 1]] has been released.
