This page provides helpful information about many coursework units offered by Computer Science and Software Engineering in 2024.

The information here is not official - for official information please see the current UWA Handbook. Instead, it will help students to prepare for their future units, before the beginning of each semester, and before they have access to UWA's Learning Management System (LMS).

Installing Linux developer tools

In CSSE we recommend installing the very popular and well-supported Ubuntu Linux Desktop distribution.

Ubuntu releases a new distribution every six months, either a stable LTS (long-term support) release, or a (possibly) less-stable experimental/develop release. The current stable release is Ubuntu LTS-22.04 (released April 2022) and is the one recommended for all CSSE units. While later releases (such as 22.10) are available, and include more recent software packages, none will be required for your CSSE units - so choose the stable release when prompted or searching.

Important packages to install on Ubuntu:

build-essential
man-db
manpages-posix
manpages-dev
manpages-posix-dev
git
findutils
vim
curl
openssh-client
less
apt-utils
