Computer Science H230 - Comp Syst Principles colloq

Students will explore topics from the 230 curriculum in greater detail, focusing on low-level systems concepts, memory and process management, and concurrency. The course emphasizes deeper understanding of how systems behave at the machine level through additional reading, discussion, and implementation. Students will also gain hands-on experience with an alternative systems programming language (e.g., Rust), enabling them to compare design choices and safety models across system languages.
