CIS2030: Systems Analysis and Logical Design
- Photocopies provided at a stationer.
CSA2010: Compiling Techniques
- The course page (part of Kristian Guillaumier's site) has all the Compiling Techniques resources you want: course slides, sample code, assignments (including the current one), past papers and additional notes.
MAT2402: Networks
- Prof. J. Lauri's notes (grab the Networks notes, which are PDF).
CSA2070: Core Computer Science 1
- Operating Systems Concepts, 7th edition - this is the book you'll need (or at least find useful) for Module 1 (Operating Systems). You can download the slides which are pretty good.
- Kevin Vella's OS page - here you can get the slides that KV uses in the lectures (i.e. the same edition, unlike above).
- Software Engineering section (2nd year), EC's website with Module 2 (Software Engineering) notes.
- Software Engineering section (3rd year), where you can find (old) notes on the Spiral Model.
- The latest notes on the Spiral Model [PPT, © Dr. Ernest Cachia 2004] are hosted here with the permission of Dr. Ernest Cachia.
CCE2001: Computer & Logic Organisation 2
- Go to the SEAL site. The first time you access this unit's page you'll be asked for a login (use your CSC login), an enrolment key (which Dr. Briffa provided in the first lecture) and some personal details to set up an account. Then you can download the lecture slides and other resources you'll need.
MGT2021: Business Management
- No notes provided.
CSA2130: Object Oriented Modelling and Java
- PA: Notes are provided after every lecture at a stationer.
- EC: The UML slides can be downloaded from EC's Introduction to Software Engineering page.
CCE2112: Telecommunications 1
- Notes are available from Dr. Ing. Adrian Muscat's website, in the Lectures section. You need a login to access it; the lecturer provides it to his students. I will not divulge it myself, so get it from him if you need it. Not all links work, but that's because the lecturer wants to provide the notes bit by bit as time goes by.
- The book you need is Mobile Communications by Jochen Schiller. I recommend buying it because it's the only book you can take with you to the exam.
CIS2051: Physical Design and Implementation of Object Oriented Applications
- VN gives out his handouts in class.
- VN's OOP sources can be obtained from the CIS labs as follows:
  - Login at the CIS labs.
  - Open Windows Explorer (or My Computer... whatever).
  - Click on Tools Menu.
  - Click on Map Network Drive.
  - Give it the path: \\robin\comp2.
  - Open the COMMON folder.
SOR1211: Probability
- Photocopies provided at a stationer.
CSA2090: Systems Programming
