Software options for CSC270

You will use www.myprogramminglab.com with a code of ADEL-21114-AVAQ-26 for Pepper's class to hand in C and C++ assignments. Find registration instructions on my web site at http://home.adelphi.edu/~pe16132/csc270/myprogramminglab.htm

We will probably use some problets: http://problets.org/user/f15/adelphi/

Explanation and desktop version links:

Most assignments can be done using Adelphi's Panther machine. Access Panther via the free programs filezilla and putty. We will also use notepad++, Swi Prolog and Dr. Racket. DevCC is also recommended but not required.

Here are links to the desktop version of these programs:

• Sftp Client : Filezilla: https://filezilla-project.org/
• Editor: notepad++: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.6.8.html
• SSH Client: Putty: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
  • putty is only for windows. For mac, you can use Terminal, usually in Applications > Utilities (instructions here) iPhone and Ipad may use pTerm
• Prolog: swi-prolog http://www.swi-prolog.org/

  Racket: Dr. Racket http://racket-lang.org/download/

You may also choose to work locally using the following programs, but must verify they work on panther before handing in work:

C/C++

• On Windows or Mac:
  • The free DevC++ is a great alternative IDE for C/C++. Find the download here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/orwelldevcpp/
• On Windows:
  • To work in a command line environment similar to panther: Cygwin to work locally on C/C++ on a Windows machine. http://cygwin.com/install.html You have to choose the C, C++ (and possibly prolog) packages when you install. Click here for detailed instructions.
  • The free Visual C++ Express has a great debugger and can be used to supplement, but only on a windows PC.
• On Mac,
  • Your terminal will likely support C/C++ out of the box or install xcode.
  • The free xcode has a good debugger and can be used to supplement.
