VIP Section

Here are two very important pieces of information about our class:


About

My name is Bill Krieger. I'm a part-time Computer Science prof here at Noctrl, wtkrieger.faculty.noctrl.edu. The best way to contact me is to 1) stop me in the hallway and say hello, or 2) send me an email, wtkrieger@noctrl.edu.

The classic... Prof Bill at the chalk board
Office hours

My office hours this term are: Tu, Th after class from 4:00-5:30. For office hours, I'll usually just hangout in our classroom. If I'm not there, then check: room 113, the faculty smoking lounge, or the computers in room 154

Hey, this is really important! My scheduled office hours are not the only time I'm available to help you. Please email me and we'll work out a time to meet one-on-one. Thanks!

Here are some excellent online resources to supplement our textbook and lecture.

  • www.cs.usfca.edu/~galles/visualization/Algorithms.html — visualization site created by David Galles at the University of San Francisco (definitely my fave!)

  • visualgo.net/en — website created "by Dr Steven Halim as a tool to help his students better understand data structures and algorithms"

  • algs4.cs.princeton.edu/home/essential information that every serious programmer needs to know about algorithms and data structures ...this online Algorithms textbook from Princeton profs Sedgewick and Wayne is excellent.

Bleachers

This section is a bunch of stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.

This website

This web page uses Bootstrap, getbootstrap.com. Bootstrap is very popular and is a godsend for graphic-design-impaired nerds, such as myself.

The Bootstrap template I used is called Clean Blog, startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/clean-blog.
