Washington University CS333: Distributed Applications Workshop

This undergraduate lab course surveys a number of distributed application paradigms, including producer/consumer, process control, client/server, collaborative work, pipeline processing, and distributed multiplayer games. Courswork consists of a series of small individual and group projects, followed by a significant final project. Emphasis is on design and implementation. If you design a new course using Playground and you make materials available on the web, please send mail to playground@cs.wustl.edu so that we can add a link here to your course.
