- inline functions
- variadic macros
- gets() deprecated
- C11 has been published and approved
- support international programming, minimize incompatibilities
- improved Unicode support
- multi-threading
- _Generic keyword

- should CPD students be given the option to take introductory game programming (faculty == yes)
- top CPD students who enroll often do well in this course
- should workshops be added to these courses
- should we issue game programming certificates
Open Source
