World Wide Web
- One of the primary concepts responsible for the proliferation
of the internet
- Labs with a lot of Pcs running DOS/Windows 3.1
- A few mini computers running UNIX
- eagle is the mini computer used by the students
- Eagle was originally running DG/UX
- Now it is a Pentium running Linux. It is the most popular
UNIX operating system for PC architecture
- We will be using eagle for e-mail, assignments development
as well as submission
- Use internet tools from eagle
- All the Pcs as well as the minicomputers are on the internet
- Each computer on the net has an IP address
- IP addresses come in handy when things are not working properly
- For eagle, the IP is 192.26.235.226
- Most of the computers are known by an easy to remember name
instead of having to use the number
- The name for eagle is eagle.auc.on.ca
- All our course material is available on satara.auc.on.ca
- IP address for satara is 199.212.54.115
- The course material will be accessed through World Wide Web
(WWW) Browsers
- From the labs you should be able to use netscape or MS internet
explorer
- From eagle, you can use a text based browser called lynx
- At the prompt, type lynx
- Type g for opening a web page.
- lynx will ask you for the URL (Uniform resource locator)
- For our class the URL will be
- http://satara.auc.on.ca/pawan/teach/1047/96-97w
- http://satara/pawan/teach/1047/96-97w
- http://199.212.54.115/pawan/teach/1047/96-97w
- use mkdir to create directories
- for example
- mkdir cs1047
- use cd command to change to a directory
- for example,
- cd cs1047
- c++ command allows you to compile a C++ program
- for example,
- c++ a1p1.cpp -o a1p1
