0. Make sure that you have successfully finished all the prerequisites for this course.
1. There will be no makeup test. If for an emergency reason you cannot/did not take the test at the assigned date, let me know so I can rearrange an alternate test schedule for you. Eligibility to take a makeup exam varies from case to case.
2. There will be some pop quizzes.
3. Knowledge of C or C++ programming languages is necessary to pass this course.
4. Knowledge of any scripting languages such as perl, ksh, sh, tcl, etc.. is a big plus.
5. Knowledge of Java, CGI and HTML is a plus.
6. All the works and examples will be on and for UNIX OS.
7. A UNIX account, which you can do your work on, is necessary. You can use NJIT's AFS collective systems to do your work; in that case you need to connect to NJIT using a MODEM or use one of the computer labs.

Alternatively you may want to obtain a free copy of Solaris OS for Intel from Sun Microsystems.
