CSE 333 Systems Programming University of Washington Summer 2022 This course provides an understanding of systems in computing, focusing on operating systems, networking, and C/C++ languages. Students learn about low-level data representation, memory management, system interactions, and efficient programming workflows. It delves into C++ idioms, network protocols, and concurrency. Prior knowledge of C programming and Linux tools is required. Systems Programming is the exploration of the composition and interface of systems in computing looking through the lens of operating systems, networking, and C/C++ languages. Through peeling levels of abstraction, students will view practices of low-level data representation (e.g. C, C++); explicit memory management; interacting with operating-system services; and cache-aware programming. Course Learning objectives are the goals that are set out for you to accomplish in this course:

- Understand system theory of how a system interacts with its environment and controlling its input and output (feedback loops, input and output, deterioration, computation)
- Unravel layers of abstraction found within systems
- Describe multiple systems throughout the computing space (e.g. HTTP, Operating Systems, Threading, and Makefiles)
- Interpret and build an efficient workflow for programming in larger sized code bases
- Debug substantial C/C++ programs using debugging tools (GDB and Valgrind) - [CSE351 (The Hardware/Software Interface)](http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/cse351): CSE 351 provides students with rudimentary knowledge of C programming; the ability to write, run, and debug programs; familiarity with Linux and the use of Linux compilation, editing, and debugging tools; a solid mental model of the relationship between high-level code (C) and assembly-level compiled code.
- [CSE 143 (Intro Programming II)](http://www.cs.washington.edu/education/courses/cse143): CSE 143 is not a direct prerequisite (CSE 351 prerequisite), but some of its topics are beneficial to review for CSE 333. This includes classes, inheritance, good style practices, and simple data structures such as linked lists, trees, hash tables, and queues. Further knowledge of Java and these data structures is not required, but could be helpful! ### Textbooks

There are no strictly required texts for this course. Most people will find it useful to have both a C and a C++ reference; suggestions are given below. The C++ Primer is strongly recommended as C++ is a big, complex language and it is hard to understand how it all fits together from just Google and Stack Overflow snippets and folklore.

#### Strongly Recommended:

C++ Primer (5th Edition), Lippman, Lajoie & Moo. ISBN 0-321-71411-3.

#### Suggested:

- [*C Programming Language (2nd Edition)*](http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-2nd-Brian-Kernighan/dp/0131103628/), Kernighan & Ritchie. ISBN 0-13-110362-8.
    - The definitive book on C from the people who created it. You will want to use an online reference for information about the latest libraries, but every serious programmer should study this book.
- [*Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective (3rd Edition)*](http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/3e/home.html), Bryant & O'Hallaron, ISBN 0-13-409266-X.
    - Useful review of CSE 351 and background for many additional topics covered more extensively in CSE333.
- [*Effective C++: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs (3rd Edition)*](http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Specific-Improve-Programs-Designs/dp/tags-on-product/0321334876), Scott Meyers. ISBN 0321334879.
- [*Effective Modern C++: 42 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of C++11 and C++14*](http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Modern-Specific-Ways-Improve/dp/1491903996), Scott Meyers. ISBN 1491903996.


### Proposed Topic List

- C Programming and idioms (Memory Management, cstdio, error handling, and structs)
- System Management Tools (Makefiles, Header Guards, GDB, and Valgrind)
- System Interfacing with Operating Systems (POSIX)
- C++ Programming and idioms (namespaces, templates, STL, smart pointers)
- C++ Classes and Inheritance (Classes, operator overloading, OOP)
- Network Programming and Protocols (POSIX, HTTP)
- Concurrency (pthreads)

CSE 142 Computer Programming I University of Washington Summer 2022 This introductory course teaches programming using Java. Students learn computational problem-solving techniques, functional decomposition, control structures, data abstraction, and code documentation. No prior programming experience is required. This course provides an introduction to programming using the Java programming language. We will explore common computational problem-solving techniques useful to computer scientists, but also to anyone who has large data sets, repetitive processes or other needs for computation. No prior programming experience is assumed, although students should know the basics of using a computer (e.g., using a web browser and a text editor) and should be comfortable with math through Algebra 1. Students with significant prior programming experience should consider skipping CSE 142 and taking [CSE 143](https://cs.washington.edu/143). CSE 142 is organized around five key learning objectives. At the end of the course, students will be able to do the following:

1. Functionality/Behavior: Write functionally correct Java programs that meet a provided specification and/or solve a specified problem
1. Functional Decomposition: Break down problems into subproblems that are modular and reusable, and define methods to represent those subproblems
1. Control Structures: Select and apply control structures (e.g. methods, loops, conditionals) to manage the flow of control and information in programs
1. Data Abstraction: Select and apply basic data abstractions (e.g. variables, parameters, arrays, classes) to manage and manipulate data in programs
1. Documentation and Readability: Define programs that are well-written, readable, maintainable, and conform to established standards  Recommended textbook: [*Building Java Programs* by Reges and Stepp (5th edition)](https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse142/22su/textbook.html)
