2 John Chuang2 Welcome to 206!  The teaching team: -John Chuang -Marco Cozzi -Emily Wagner  To reach all three of us: -

3 John Chuang3 What is 206?  Technological foundations for computing and communications: computer architecture, operating system, networking, middleware, security.  Programming paradigms: object-oriented design, design and analysis of algorithms, data structures, formal languages.  Distributed system architectures and models, inter-process communications, concurrency, system performance.

6 John Chuang6 Typical CS Topics Not Covered in 206  Database, data management, info retrieval, …  Artificial intelligence: data mining, NLP, robotics, computer vision, …  Computer graphics  HCI  Languages and Compilers  Theory

7 John Chuang7 Why 206?  Technologies change, but first principles don’t -Starting from 1st principles, understand technical underpinnings, design tradeoffs, metrics for performance evaluation  Jargon -be effective and confident communicator with both developers and customers/users using precise technical terminology  Hands-on: opening the black-box -This is not a programming course; not training you to become a programmer -Rather, use programming as vehicle for learning concepts, tools, and software development process and methods -become more patient with, rather than be intimidated by, programmers

9 John Chuang9 Learning Opportunities  Lectures, Assignments, Tests  Labs -Reviews; best practices; practical tools & libraries; Q&A -Planned with a view beyond 206  Office Hours  Discussions: in-class and online  We will all learn from one another!  There are no ‘stupid questions’ in this course  Yes, it is a 4-unit course.

10 John Chuang10 Administrivia  Grading Criteria -Assignments 60% (~8 assignments) -Tests 30% (three tests) -Class participation 10%  Refer to website for important policies: -Academic integrity -Grading policy (including early/late submissions) -Instructors availability -Classroom technology etiquette

11 John Chuang11 Life after 206 MIMS Technology Requirement  Computer architecture  Software: -Software design -Algorithms -Data structures  Communications: -Distributed systems -Networking -Security 206 (4 units) electives  219. Security  240. Information Retrieval  243. Document Engineering  250. Networks  257. Database  Selected 290 and 296A courses*  Selected EECS courses  219. Security  240. Information Retrieval  243. Document Engineering  250. Networks  257. Database  290 and 296A courses  EECS courses 2nd course * See Masters Handbook for Complete and Updated List If you place out of 206, you still need to satisfy the technology requirement by taking 2nd course from list

13 John Chuang13 Career Advice #1  Join the ACM (Association of Computing Machinery)  and one or more SIGs (e.g., SIGCHI, SIGCOMM, SIGecom)  Read the monthly CACM  Attend ACM conferences

14 John Chuang14 More Sign-Ups  Course mailing list: -  Also: - -xkcd.com/rss.xml

15 John Chuang15 About Me  Full Professor at School of Information; affiliate appointment in EECS  B.S. and M.S. in electrical engineering from USC and Stanford  Micro-processor design at Silicon Graphics  Ph.D. in engineering and public policy from CMU  Research in economics-informed design of networked systems: -100x100: clean-slate design of internet architecture -p2pecon: incentive-centered design of peer-to-peer systems -economics of information security and privacy -ICTD: information, communication technologies and development  Hobby: boxbabble -- ingredient-based search app

16 John Chuang16 Reading Assignment  Read: Brookshear Chapter 0, 1.1-1.5  Norvig, Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years  Optional: Brookshear 1.6-1.9  Python tune-up: -Go back and complete your place-in exam; clear up any doubts before first programming assignment -Ask for help from instructors -Free drop-in tutor service available throughout the semester in Soda/Cory Hall (M-F) -http://hkn.berkeley.edu/student/tutoring.shtml
