Welcome, TWikiGuest!

Welcome to Computer Science! This is a TWikiSite (pronounced twee-kee site), a meeting place to work on common interests. Anyone can contribute using any web browser. Computer Science looks like a normal web site... except that it encourages contribution and editing of pages, questions, answers, comments and updates.

"Wiki" systems are fundamentally editable web pages. It's a fun and useful way of communicating asynchronously over the web for many existing intranet and public Internet sites. TWiki is simple to learn and use. It aims to provide a transparent way for you to publish and exchange your ideas with others over the web.

What's in a TWiki?

• Webs: A TWikiSite is divided into webs, each one represents an area for collaboration. This site has the following webs: Advis, BIOE, Bits, Bits.Mobicom10, BoXu, Buy, CHE, CME, COE, COE.AdvisoryBoard, CS101, CS202, CS301, CS335, CS340, CS385, CS385spring11, CS401, CS422, CS450, CS450fall09, CS450fall10, CS499, CS594WN, CSGSA, CSOpenHouse, ClementYu, ComputationalEcology, ComputerSupport, CoolCS, Cruz, Cruz.NSFMatchingGrant, Devroye, DiEugenio, ECC, ECE, ECE341s12, IE, Isaim2012, Jakob, JohnBell, Kenyon, MIE, MIE.NonAcademicChecklist, MIE.UndergraduatePrograms, MRC, Main, Murata, PSYu, PeterNelson, Piotr, Reach, Reed, Sandbox, Scholarship, Shatz, Sistla, Sloan, StudentAffairs, TWiki, Tanya, Theys, Troy, UIC_Connect, Zuck
• Topics: Each web is made up of hyperlinked topics that appear in your browser.

Some things to do

• Browse. This is a site like other sites. Read and follow interesting links.
• Write. Speak your mind! From your browser you can change or add to anything you see in a TWiki topic. Use regular text or TWikiShorthand.
• Experiment. Edit your personal page or visit the Sandbox web.
• Organize. You can learn to use TWikiForms and FormattedSearches to include topic information - for example, classify pages by subject, status, or date.
• Learn more. Some good places to start:
  • TWikiTutorial is a 20-minute tour of TWiki essentials.
  • ATasteOfTWiki is a short introduction training course for beginners.
  • WikiReferences links to selected articles and books about wiki technology and online collaboration.
  • WikiSyntax - simple syntax for edits
  • GoodStyle - recommendations for edits

Some basics

Editing a page:

• click Edit at the bottom of any topic and make your changes
• click [ Preview Changes ] at the bottom to verify the topic (use your brower's Back button if necessary)
• click [ Save Changes ] You've now edited the topic!

Creating a page

See a question mark link "?" behind a WikiWord? That means that there's no topic yet for that NewWikiWord88341 . If you want to create a topic for that WikiWord, just click on the question mark. The topic will be created and you will be in the editor window.
