Neat. Makefiles could be a class all by itself. :)
YES! I explained batchfiles and what MAKE is, and showed a couple of
examples, but did NOT spend any significant amount of class time on them.
One of the other instructors used Visual Studio for his classes. At
the end of the semester, my students could write simple C programs (file
handling, etc.) and struggle through how to use other compilers; his
students could not write programs, nor use ANY compiler other than Visual
Studio. I guess that his could get a job easier, mine could start a
career.
The differences really showed up in the second semester ("Data Structures
and Algorithms")
What was the
relationship to "EDIT" in MS-DOS?
QuickBASIC with (AFAIR) the /EDITOR
command line switch.
