Have a look inside the Lab 2 Page. I'll be updating the lab requirements soon.

Load Balancer

Here's the problem: How do you allow a mod_python driven python script to kill and restart a system process without opening a HUGE security hole?

If anyone knows, please let me know.

In the meantime, you will not automatically be included in the load balancer rotation, as I'm having difficulty restarting Pound when I want to. Just make sure that your server is included in the list, and don't stress the rest.

TA Hours Updated, First Lab Ready

I've updated my TA hours and the calendar links. I try to get the calendar updated at the start of the week, and it will sometimes vary from the regular schedule as I have other things that keep me away. The first lab is ready to go, and you should have received an email with the final details. Please feel free to drop in or email me anytime.

Welcome to CS462 for Fall 2007

It's time for another semester or CS462. Welcome!

This class is the one place in the curriculum that you'll learn how to build applications that don't live on a single computer--applications like those that make the Web such a fun place.

I'd say "sit back and relax" but that wouldn't be truthful. Rather "sit up straight and get ready for a fast ride."

The links on the right hand side of this page will take you to the important information about the class. Here's a few highlights:

  • Don't buy the textbook--wait for my discussion on the first day of class.
  • Be sure to read the FAQ
  • Remember the schedule is a suggestion at this point and will change.
  • You need to create a blog for the class

I'm sure I'll think of some others. Watch this space for further developments.
