If you took ELE342 with Dr. Alan Davis in the summer and passed* the  
course, and wish to take ELE480 in the Fall, please send me an email,  
and I will be happy to send you a permission number. This assumes that  
you have passed 313 as well.

Dr. Sunak.

(*I do have the final grades from Dr. Davis)

There will be a 10-hour power outage from midnight Saturday, Aug. 9 to

>    - header files and prototypes
>    - pointers and memory management
>    - virtual (C++) vs. abstract (Java)
>    - multiple inheritance

> 2) Dive into more advanced aspects of C++ and good programming

>    - standard template library
>    - usage of the const modifier
>    - reference vs. pointer
>    - operator overloading
>
> 3) Get used to working with third-party libraries
>    - multithreading: pthreads
