* Labour day - no Class I this week === Week 1 - Class I II ===

* Most software is written in a '''high-level language''' which can be compiled into [[Machine Language|machine code]] for a specific computer architecture. In many cases, this code can be compiled for multiple architectures. However, there is a lot of existing code that contains some architecture-specific code fragments written in architecture-specific high-level code or in [[Assembly Language]] (.* Reasons that code is architecture-specific:** System assumptions that don't hold true on other platforms*** Variable or, in some cases, machine[[Word|word]] size*** [[Endian|Endianness]]** Code that takes advantage of platform-specific high-level code).features

* Quizzes will be short (1 page) and will be held without announcement at any time, generally at the start of class. Your There is no opportunity to re-take a missed quiz, but your lowest three quiz scores will not be counted, so do not worry if you miss one or two.** Students with test accommodations: an alternate monthly quiz is available in the Test Centre. See the professor for details.

==== Discussion of how How open source communities work ====

* Background for the [[SPO600 Code Review Lab|Code Review Lab (Lab 1)]]as homework.
