Curriculum Projects

Parallel Computing

I have been involved in several projects involving parallel computing during the past few years. These have included several faculty workshops, editing the book Laboratories for Parallel Computing, and helping to establish UParCC (the Undergraduate Parallel Computing Consortium).  This page includes links to materials from the most recent workshops, in 1997 and 1998.
 

Concurrent Programming in Java with CSP

This page has links to materials about concurrent programming in Java using CSP.  It includes powerpoint slides from my 1999 SIGCSE presentation and links to other sites with information about Java with CSP.
 

Object-Oriented Programming and C++

The past few years I have been working with a group of faculty from several schools on an NSF funded project to develop materials for teaching object-oriented programming early in the computer science curriculum. This page contains materials which we have developed under that project and pointers to other locations with useful materials. It includes materials on teaching C++ in C.S. 1 and C.S. 2.
 

Advanced Placement Computer Science Web Page

This unofficial APCS web page, also known as the Chief Reader's web page, contains materials useful for teaching APCS contributed by teacher's and others and includes links to several other sites.
