CPSC 480-020 Software Engineering (SE) Fall 2025

Week 6 Class 11 Tue Sep 30 Posted: Sep 30

After Class

• Make and Build Files

  There is no current exercise for Make using the Build Files GitHub Classroom Invitation Link. We will do this on Thursday.

Announcements

• Career Fair & Class

  The career fair is from 10 am to 2 pm. It is 4 hours long, not because students will spend 4 hours attending, but to allow students to fit attendance in between their classes.

  Career fair attendance during class time is not an excused absence.

• Office Hours For today, Office Hours are 10:30 - 10:45 am and 3:15 - 4:15 pm.

• UNIX Commands

  I occasionally use UNIX commands in a bash shell to perform development tasks or to point out the results of development tasks. Obviously there is git, but there are a lot of other commands that we use. We just saw diff and patch.

  I recommend that you keep a list of these commands with the name, short description, and example of using it. These commands will not be on any exam unless I specifically say they are. However, they may be part of a crossword.

  Follow along with the Patching Linux demo shown in class. Write the commands in order as they are applied in the demo.

  For the URLs, copy and paste, or write a shortened form of the URL.

  Upload to Brightspace this list of commands. This can be a text file, or an image of the commands written on paper. This is due by the end of class.
