Read chapters 3-4 of Das.
Read notes on shell scripts and C program basics.
For programming exercises, submit source files, a shell program that runs the exercises and a Word or HTML document showing "highlighted" source, a transcript showing the results of test cases, and commentary on the results. (See the script command in the man pages). If appropriate, save the output of an exercise as a data file.
