CS 596 & CS 535 : In the past CS535 was offered in the fall semester. CS535 covered the syntax and semantics of an object-oriented programming language (Java) and the basic concepts and issues of object-oriented programming and design. This was too much material for one course. Starting this year, in the fall semester CS 596 Java Programming (which will become CS501) covered the syntax and semantics of Java. CS 535 will cover object-oriented programming and design. CS 535 will not cover a programming language. This means about 10 weeks of new material will be added to CS535.

Recycling: Paper makes up 40% of the garbage in this country. Please recycle all the paper you no longer need. The city of San Marcos thanks you for recycling.
