Fall 2023
My schedule.
For courses I have taught in the past, see the bottom of this page.
Links
Here are some additional resources of potential interest to my students.
- Student Resources. If you are a student taking one of
my classes, you may find the links here useful.
- The CIS department experimental network is a testbed of
physical (not simulated) devices that support departmental networking classes.
- Tutorial on Ada. Source files for the
various sample programs used in the
tutorial. This is a work in progress.
- Tutorial on C. A semester long course in C for first time
programmers. This tutorial also covers some advanced topics.
- Tutorial on C++. This is a work in progress. This tutorial
assumes C experience.
- Tutorial on POSIX threads. This tutorial
covers both POSIX threads specifically and some thread programming topics in general.
- In some classes I use the Open Watcom C/C++ compilers. Here I provide a snapshot of the development version. To
install, unpack the snapshot in some suitable location (avoid paths with spaces). To use, open
a console and run the useOW script in the root of the distribution to set up the
environment of that console.
- My Curriculum Vitae.
Projects
Links to projects I'm working on:
- pchapin's GitHub. Use this as a starting point to
access the various open source projects I'm contributing to or maintaining.
- Open Watcom. An open source C, C++, and Fortran compiler suite
with tools. I have been an active contributor to this project in the past.
- Astronomical Observations. Various
observations made by me and the home for "Astronomical Observation Markup Language."
- Waterfalls of the New England Region. A page
showcasing waterfalls around New England that I have visited.
- 100 Highest. A list of the 100 highest
mountains in New England along with climbing notes.
- Technically Rambling is my blog about
various technical things I sometimes think about.
Links to projects I have worked on in the past:
- CubeSat Laboratory is a group of VTC students,
faculty, and staff working on CubeSat
technology spacecraft. See also the Flying
SPARKs blog for updates about their work. Although I was very involved in this project
for a number of years, I am no longer actively participating. I still watch the project and
lend assistance now, and then as time allows.
