Name:

Part of the workshop will include hands-on laboratories involving the C++ programming language. To the extent possible, the hope is to tailor this experience to the equipment and software that you use regularly in your high school. While it is anticipated that both PC-compatibles and Macintoshes will be available, the following questions will help guide the selection of hardware and software for this workshop.

1. What computing equipment normally is available for you and for computer science students at your high school? (Fill in the appropriate boxes.)

   	Model	RAM size	Disk Size	CD Available?
   Macintosh:	______________	______________	______________	______________
   PC-Compatible:	______________	______________	______________	______________

2. Which operating system do you usually use (e.g., DOS, Windows, other -- specify release number)?

3. Are the high school machines networked (yes/no)?
   • If so, what networking software is used?

4. Do you currently run C++ on the equipment at your high school (yes/no)?
   • If so, which compiler (name and release number)?

The following questions will help planning for sessions at an appropriate technical level.

1. Please describe your background in computer science.

2. Indicate what programming experience you have had, including what language(s) in which you have programmed.

3. Approximately how long (e.g., lines or pages) is the longest program you have written?

4. Have you ever read or heard about C++ programming (yes/no)?
   • If so, have you programmed in C++?

5. A draft of this workshop's content and schedule is available over the world-wide web at http://www.math.grin.edu/~walker/courses/summer/hawken-98.html.

   Please indicate your reaction to this material. (E.g., comments; suggestions for additions, deletions, or modifications; changes in time allocations)
