Announcements
- Be sure to respond to the invitation to join Piazza. All communications will be made via that list.
- Lab starts promptly at 1:15 p.m. this afternoon (or Monday). If you are well prepared it should go pretty
smoothly and you should finish before 4 p.m.
- Thanks for letting me know about typos in the text and other materials. Please post them on Piazza.
I will try to make fixes to the on-line materials as soon as possible.
- Where did the name Grace for the language come from? Grace is named after Grace Hopper, a famous
early computer scientist who designed some of the earliest programming languages. (There is also a CS conference
named after her - as well as a U.S. Navy destroyer. Lots of information is available on Wikipedia about her.)
We also liked Grace because we hope to enable students to write graceful and elegant programs.
