DrScheme
The DrScheme environment is used for programming in this course. DrScheme is the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the PLT Scheme implementation.
There is a video tour of DrScheme, which provides a quick introduction to its use and features.
You can download and install PLT Scheme including DrScheme from:
-
http://download.plt-scheme.org/drscheme/
(main site) -
http://internal.itee.uq.edu.au/~comp1024/download/plt-4.1.4-bin-i386-win32.exe
(ITEE mirror – only use this from inside the UQ network)
DrScheme is also available for use in the student labs.
DrScheme provides support for several different languages (all variants of Scheme). "Pretty big" is the language used in this course.
Facilities
The computer laboratory 78-122 is used for prac sessions. The software used in this course is also available in all undergraduate labs in General Purpose South (building 78). See the timetables on the doors of the labs for general access times.
