CS-Education resources

http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~up3f/resources

Purpose: Facilitate the teaching and learning environment; reduce course preparation time so that educators and learners can focus on other learning-related tasks

The repository consists of materials and resources I have gathered and developed. The resources include, but are not limited to, software development tutorials, software deployment instructions, development and deployment configuration, troubleshooting, programming language practice problems and examples, software artifacts (such as software specifications, software architectures, test plans, test code), and database-related configuration and tutorials. The repository is also available on the UVA Computer Science Department's CompEdCenter's site.
