Assignments

Please, direct to the project coordinator all techical questions regarding homework.

We are setting up a system for doing the final testing in the deployment server. Right now we dont have the environment ready for testing. Please make a package of the deliverables (include all source code, header files, static/dynamic libraries and executables) and an installation manual describing the steps to run the application(s). It is a good practice and also convenient if you can put all the source files in one directory, the libraries and executables and a directory for help files like installation manual and other documents part of the deliverable. (for eg, main/src main/bin main/help).
