The course does not teach programming as such, nor does it deal with applications in detail e.g. CGI forms, which would require a separate course. A prerequisite for this course is experience of a high-level programming language such as C, Basic, Fortran, Java etc. Alternatively, experience of writing sophisticated Unix shell scripts or VBScript should be adequate. This course is usually held only once a year in the Lent Term. The World Wide Web provides a mechanism for people to share information with the rest of the Internet.
Information is provided by server software.
The majority of the operating system work will similarly be common to all flavours of Unix. Sorry, this course is not currently scheduled. It is available on many Unix systems as well as other platforms. It is particularly suited for the writing of theses, papers and technical documents. No prior knowledge of TeX will be assumed but some familiarity with Unix will be useful for following the demonstrations.
