I would like to gather opinions and suggestions from the net for them. These courses will be part of a two year associate degree in Electronics and Computer Science. The two courses are Introduction to C This course will be required for the degree and will be the first programming course in the program. This should establish a groundwork in programming that will support later courses, mostly in assembly language for microcomputers. It will replace a course in BASIC. Advanced C programming This will be an elective and will have the above course as a requirement. It is intended to train someone who can take an entry level position as a C coder. I would like any suggestions that people may have for topics to be included in either course, suggestions for textbooks, etc. I would especially like information about similar courses at other colleges and universities. Please at least let me know what text they are using. If possible, I would like to obtain a copy of the syllabus or instructors guide or to get a phone number for someone teaching it. I don't expect that the list as a whole will be interested in this. I will send a copy of the finished course descriptions to anyone who sends me a U.S.Snail address. Thanks for any information, Paul Schauble Schauble@MIT-Multics
