The first Lab is tomorrow, 11:00-14:00 in CSEB-3057. It is important that you complete this lab because the applied part of next week's test is based on it. It is highly recommended that you go to the lab tomorrow and familiarize yourself with its platform and software since you will be using this very lab to take the test.

Lab #1 has been posted; start working on it! You can do the lab in CSEB1002 or in fact from any machine anywhere. All you need is to have the FireFox browser with the Firebug plug-in (both of which can be downloaded for free). To do the database part it is easiest to simply ssh to your cse account on red and use the username student and password secret. To connect to the database, issue the command ij and then connect by typing: <pre> connect 'jdbc:derby://indigo.cse.yorku.ca:9999/CSE;user=student;password=secret'; </pre> After connecting, you can issue any SQL query. You can do so in one line or on multiple lines as long as you terminate the query with a semicolon. Once done, type exit; to quit the ij utility.
