For project 1 (building a web server) we’re going to be using either C or C++. If you’re feeling a bit rusty (or haven’t been exposed to C or C++ thus far), you can take some online training via “PluralSight”.

PluralSight is an online MOOC where you can watch some videos on how to program in C++, C++ fundamentals, and C++ language features. The online courses take a few hours to complete, and come with companion code, exercises, etc.

To access this resource:

1. Visit https://app.pluralsight.com/paths/skills/c-plus-plus
2. Click “Log in” on the top-right of the screen
3. Click “Sign in with company or school”
4. Put “www.ucsd.edu” in the search box and click “Sign in”
5. Enter your campus AD login information (associated with your @ucsd.edu email, not your @eng.ucsd.edu email)
6. You will see three tracks of online modules: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Feel free to explore as few or many of these as you’d like.
