This fall I'm taking CS211 here at CMU.  I'm making a new sub-site to post things tips and tricks I've learned.  First up on my agenda of things to figure out:

  • what's the best version of Emacs on Windows?
    • I generally preffer using Forte but I guess I better at least try to learn this famous editor
  • Unit Testing
    • What's the best, simple way to do it? I've done some basic test harnesses before but what does a tool like JUnit have to add?
  • Version Control
    • I need a simple solid solution. If I end up using Forte I'll probably try to use the built in CVS support if I can get help installing it.

 

Oh another tip for anyone else who might be reading this (I've already done this step, but maybe I should see if a new version has been released) is to install Cygwin which provides Unix shell and command line tools in Windows.
