   • C Programming Fundamentals: Go to the the Boston University CS Teaching Archive, and look up the section on C. Do the tutorials/labs for (1) Modules, Separate Compilation, Make Files, and (2) Stack - Array Implementation. Note that both examples assume an Abstract Data Type approach, even though there are those who will say that C is not "Object Oriented." Students in this class have all had an object oriented language (C++ or Java). In doing the tutorials, carefully compare the approach used in C with the approach you would use in either C++ or Java.
