Announcements:

  • 1/25: The Help Lab schedule for Spring 2012 has been posted, available here.
    The Help Lab is located on the second floor of Wachman Hall, in room 218. Students who have expertise in various subjects are available at the Help Lab to help you with questions related to your courses. They are a valuable resource; please make use of them!

  • 1/9: Instructions for installing Java on your home Windows computer are available here.
    Several people have asked me why Windows complains that the "javac" command cannot be found on your home computer. Most likely, it is because Java is not installed on your machine; or else, if it is installed, it is not on your System "Path". Follow the link to find instructions to fix this. Note that all the Lab machines in Wachman already have Java installed.
