Advice from a UCB Student

<p>You can check course notes and assignments for current and past Berkeley CS 61A courses here:</p>

<p>[CS61A</a> Home Page](<a href=“http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/archives.html]CS61A”>CS61A Home Page)</p>

<p>Note that books for both the old (Scheme-based) and current (Python-based) versions of the course are free to read on the web. The language interpreters are also free to download to use on your computer.</p>

<p>If you will be a transfer student, you will need to complete CS 61A as soon as you can, rather than spending a semester on CS 10. If you feel that you need preparatory programming experience, take whatever transferable CS courses are available at your community college (including those that articulate to CS 61B if available, or which articulate to other UC and CSU campuses’ CS courses for your backup transfer options).</p>
