Topic List; PDFs; Errata

The “Slides with commentary” is the most complete representation of the material you are to learn in CS135.

The slides portion of those pages are also available as 1up and 3up PDFs. They work better with screen readers and print better, but lack the commentary, videos, and self-check exercises.
