A PC-compatible computer system running Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 2. Microsoft PowerPoint® (part of Microsoft Office) or the free PowerPoint Viewer 3. An Assembler ( Model Assembler provided). 4. A C++ Compiler Preferred compiler: Dev-C++ which can be downloaded (free) at: http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html Version to download: Dev-C++ 5.0 beta 9.2 (4.9.9.2) ( 9.0 MB) with Mingw/GCC 3.4.2Regis University CS208 Syllabus Term 11F8W2 3 Other ANSI standard C++ compilers can be used, but the facilitator will most likely use the Dev-C++ compiler to grade your programs. If a student chooses to use another compiler, it is the student's responsibility to obtain any help needed to use the software, and to insure that all assigned programs compile and run correctly on the Dev-C++ compiler. As with most of Regis learning activities, using various software applications to accomplish assignments requires students to exercise a great deal of responsibility for learning how to successfully operate the software applications. There are, however, many quality books on the market that support novice users if you need them.
