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 C on your laptop computer

C11 is used in UWA's CITS2002 Systems Programming and CITS3002 Computer Networks units.

On Linux, the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) is often pre-installed - Linux can barely function without a C compiler and developer tools. So you may not even need to install C on your system, particularly if you have installed a developer version of Linux (and not a minimal installation).

There are a number of popular Linux distributions. In CSSE we recommend installing the Ubuntu Linux Desktop distribution. See also Installing Linux developer tools.

On Windows you can download and install Microsoft's free Visual Studio and the Microsoft C/C++ tools.

On macOS you should download and install Apple's Xcode from Apple's Mac App Store. The full Xcode application is huge, requiring over 40GB of disk space, and supports development for Apple Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Apple-TV. When you first run Xcode you will be asked to also install Apple's Xcode Command Line Tools. Ensure that you install them as well!
