Your first software for this course SSH (Secure shell) You will need this software to do your class material + homework CS computer lab and ACNS computer lab have SSH You can download SSH and install into your computer by visiting “system.cs.fsu.edu” Click on “New user info” Click on “SSH how to” Read instructions and download the file Install SSH You will need SSH to create your CS account and you must have your CS account before Wednesday next week
10
How to use SSH Click connect (should be the 4 th icon on the top) Hostname garnet.acns.fsu.edu everyone should already have this account shell.cs.fsu.edu have this CS account by next Wednesday program.cs.fsu.edu Use same account as shell.cs.fsu.edu Use this server to do your programming homework Click ‘connect’ Enter password Now you are in the remote host (garnet.acns.fsu.edu server, etc.)
11
How to use SSH (cont.) Host Garnet.acns.fsu.edu your webpage Shell.cs.fsu.edu some of your homework Program.cs.fsu.edu your programming homework Operating system UNIX You need to learn how to use UNIX Unix example ls – list files in the directory cd – change directory rm – delete files mkdir – make directory
12
Your first homework Install SSH into your computer You can use SSH in computer lab, but I would recommend to install it on your computer since you will be doing a lot of homework this semester (don’t forget that homework count toward 50% of your grade) Try SSH to garnet.acns.fsu.edu We will start covering UNIX on Wednesday
13
Your first real homework Get a CS account You can start doing it this Friday (after the end of drop/add period, when the system group have the final roaster of CS students) Send e-mail to me (shankar@cs.fsu.edu) with your CS account by 11:59pm next Thursdayshankar@cs.fsu.edu This is all or nothing homework: you either get full score or zero You may have around 20 homework's, so this will be approximately 2.5% of your final grade. Start working on it this Friday. E-mail subject COP3502: Assignment#1 submission E-mail body your full name
14
How to send e-mails Obtain your CS account first SSH to shell.cs.fsu.edu Type ‘pine’ Pine is an e-mailing program that you will be using throughout this course
15
How to use Pine Send e-mails (compose) At main menu type “c” To put e-mail address that you want to send to, e.g. shankar@cs.fsu.edu shankar@cs.fsu.edu Cc when you want to put more than one address I would recommend that you also send e-mail to yourself (put youid@cs.fsu.edu in the Cc field youid@cs.fsu.edu Subject subject of your e-mail Always start with “COP3502:” e.g. “COP3502: questions regarding asg#1” or “COP3502: Assignment#3 submission” CTRL-x send
16
How to use Pine Read e-mails At main menu type “i” or select ‘folder list’ then ‘inbox’ Select message to read, type “i” again to go back to inbox Go to main menu Type ‘m’ Quit Type ‘q’ Attachment In a compose message window, move your cursor to attachment, CTRL-j attachment CTRL-t to file (select files)

Before we leave today What do I expect from you Punctuality Work hard Honor What else do I expect from you Buy both textbooks Write down lecture notes Absolutely no cell phone use or ring in class Always bring your textbook
18
Before we leave today What can you expect in this course You will have a lot of programming homework in the first half of the semester Homework in the second half will be more ‘paper and pencil’ There will be approximately 10 quizzes, many of them will not be announced in advance and many of them will be related to your homework Many quizzes and (parts of)exams will be open-book Again, always bring your text book You cannot share textbook during a quiz/exam You will have to print and hand-in many of your homeworks. Majors labs provide free prints for students that enroll in CS classes
19
Before we leave today Late assignments are not accepted (you will get zero). There will also not be any make-up quizzes. Extra credits There are four extra credits. Two will replace two of your lowest homework scores. Another two will replace two of your lowest quiz scores. One extra credit write a 5 page summary of one chapter in Ethics for the information age textbook Four extra credits four chapters with 5 pages each There will be no other extra credits If you have less computer background than other students, you will have to work harder

Before we leave today Try to be familiar with SSH before next class We will cover basic UNIX commands in next class. If you have no idea what UNIX is, you should search it up from the internet before next class
