GCO3818 Software Environments(DISESTABLISHED FB 05/07) (13 Dec 2007, 1:58pm) [Software Environments ]

Reasons for Introduction

Obsolete Reasons for Introduction

This unit is being introduced to replace GCO2814 Operating Systems, as a core unit, following the review of the Bachelor of Computing conducted in 1999. An additional core programming unit has been added to the program, and the material for this unit has been upgraded to third level.The syllabus of GCO3818 is similar to that of GCO2814, updated particularly in the area of multimedia operating system support and with an emphasis on hands-on exposure to operating systems (such as Linux) that are significantly different from the usual Windows operating system that the students use for almost all their other units.

Reasons for Change (08 Jun 2004, 11:34am)

FEC 4/04 Addition of Summer A 2005 to frequency of offering.
