There should be one (1) computer per student, plus one (1) computer for the instructor.
The preferred operating system is Windows (98, NT, 2000, or XP are all OK). However, any variant of UNIX/Linux is OK also.
If this is a C++ course, then the preferred C++ compiler is Microsoft Visual C++ .Net 2003 (but see below). The help system must be installed on each computer.
If this is a Java course, then the preferred Java compiler is the latest release from http://java.sun.com. The documentation for that release must be installed on each computer.
The instructor's computer must have a CDROM drive.
The instructor's computer must have a USB port.
The instructor's computer must be networked to the students' computers.
The instructor's computer must have a shared drive so that the instructor can put files there which will be readable by all the students' computers.

The instructor's computer must have Winzip (or Pkzip) installed.
The instructor's computer must have internet access.

C++ Compilers

Microsoft Visual C++ version 6.0 is (barely) adequate for the following courses:

Introduction to C++ Programming for Non-C Programmers
Introduction to C++ Programming for C Programmers
Advanced C++ Programming
Design Patterns in C++

but a more recent, more Standard-conforming, compiler is required for the following courses:

C++ Standard Template Library (STL)
C++ Templates

Acceptable compilers for the latter courses include (but are not limited to):

Gnu C++
Comeau C++
Metrowerks C++

Here is Bjarne Stroustrup's list of C++ compilers.

Please ask us if you have any questions about C++ compilers.
