Peer Legacy for ECE364: Software Design Tools

  • When I took ECE364, It focused on Korn Shell and Python. Korn Shell didn't seem to be very useful, and I believe they have replaced that part of the curriculum with Bash. The content of this course is good, but the pace is extremely fast. Each lab feels like a lab practical because there are only two hours to complete the assignment. The final project is nice because it lets you work at your own pace while building something useful. My semester built a standalone twitter application. In other years, they have built irc clients. --- Brendon McCool
