This course introduces software tools that are used for building applications and in the software development process. It covers ANSI-C (stdio, pointers, memory management, overview of ANSI-C libraries), Shell programming including Filters and pipes (shell redirection, grep, sort & uniq, tr, sed, awk, pipes in C), Version control systems and the “make” mechanism, and debugging and testing. All of the above are applied in practical programming assignments and/or small-group projects.

Upon the completion of this course, the student should be able to

1. Use the basic functionality of the Unix shell, such as standard commands and utilities, input/output redirection, and pipes.

1. Develop and test shell scripts of significant size.
2. Develop and test programs written in the C programming language.
3. Describe the memory management model of the C programming language.
4. Use test, debug and profiling tools to check the correctness of programs.
