EECS 111: Fundamentals of Computer Programming I

Welcome to the EECS 111 class home page. You should frequently check this page for assignments, handouts and lecture notes.

General Info

This is an introductory course on the fundamentals of computer programming. I see this class as an opportunity for you, the student, to see what computer programming is all about and (more importantly) to see whether you want to spend the next few years doing more of it. This course will include weekly programming projects, readings, a midterm, and final examinations. Class participation is not optional.
