Programming 3 (Nathan, Semester 1, 2012)

Software Downloads

Here you can find software that is used in Programming 3 and that you might find useful for programming projects. Most software we use in Programming 3 can be installed directly from the developer tools installation DVD under Linux and Mac OS X. Also, most software is Open Source, so you should be able to download and compile the source code for other (POSIX compliant) operating systems.

The Entries below have tool tips. Just move the mouse over an entry description in the first column to see more details.

Ubuntu This is one of the most user friendly desktop Linux distributions. You can test Linux by downloading one of the ISO images and burning a CD from the image. If you want to do the programming exercises, you need to install the distribution on a partition on your hard disk. This download is from the AARNET mirror. Even though you need to be NetChecked to download this file, it won't use up any NetCheck quota! Use the amd64 for a reasonably new PC with a 64-bit CPU. For older PCs with a 32-bit CPU, use i386. x86 ubuntu-desktop-i386.iso The Ubuntu Web Page
