NOTE: Below is a list of modules that outlines what I hope to cover this semester. Each "module" represents about 2 to 3 weeks. Most of the information below is really just an ordering without dates. If the border has been set to maroon and a date has been entered, then that means I won't be making any more changes to that section.
Definition of "skim" for purposes of this class: Read anything you don't know, review what you forgot, and refresh what you think you will forget.
D+D refers to the Deitel & Deitel textbook.
