Welcome to SOCIS
Submitted by rsmith05@uoguelph.ca on August 31, 2009 - 00:59.Hey everyone,
Welcome to the Society of Computing and Information Science (SOCIS) for the 2009/2010 academic year. If you're like most students, you navigated to the front page and read our mission statement:
"The Society of Computing & Information Science is the official student body representing B. Comp., B.A. and B.Sc. Computer Science Majors on campus. We seek to provide resources and activities to strengthen the community of all CIS students for mutual support and development."

School related materials have appeared!
Submitted by wcarss@uoguelph.ca on August 30, 2009 - 22:50.Course materials have started popping up in all of the usual places! While I went hunting about, it occurred to me that this knowledge is (while findable) a bit arcane, so why not gather a bunch of it up and share it around? First off (for material's sake), Wlodek Dobosiewicz (just say Dobo) has some good content on http://www.cis.uoguelph.ca/~dobo/. CIS 2460, Modeling is up for F09, specifically the course outline. Also, CIS 3210, Networking, is up with an Introduction, Outline, and Intro to TCP. (all pdf documents)

Paintballing
Submitted by kwok@uoguelph.ca on August 29, 2010 - 23:15.Any plan for paintballing this fall? I suggest we try a different venue than paintball arena since they can't seem to even fix the leaks, left alone run a paintball field.

Textbook list for CIS courses?
Submitted by chabotc@uoguelph.ca on August 23, 2010 - 12:52.Has SOCIS, or anyone else, compiled a list of the required/common textbooks for each of the classes at all levels?
I'm looking at buying books already, and was hoping to get an idea of costs before the demand picks up.
Any help?
I'm looking for text info for the following classes:
- CIS*2460 Modeling
- CIS*3150 Theory of Computing
- CIS*3210 Networks
- CIS*3530 DB
- CIS*3750 Systems Analysis and Design
CIS*4450 Parallel Programming- Principles of Parallel Programming [req] & Patterns for Parallel Programming [recommended]

O-Week
Submitted by richardl@uoguelph.ca on August 12, 2010 - 13:55.So I just looked through all the events for O-Week and I can't find anything that SOCIS is putting on....
Did I just miss it, or are we really doing nothing? >_<
