Reading List

Here is the current reading list for the semester. Each entry shows the reading that is expected for the indicated lecture. The values for weeks later in the semester are “guesses”. As we make progress in the semester, I'll update the entries for lectures that have occurred to show how far we have made it. I'll then update the “guesses” in response (sort of like Agile software life cycles!).

In the table below, “User Stories”, “Concurrency”, and “Design”, map to our three textbooks for this semester in a straightforward way.
