Ok, for people who want to study CS back when there was a lot less of it, I'm putting some of the notes up, starting with bits of first year CS1 & EE2 (skipped EE1 as I'd a- level physics).

EE2 taught C on BSD unix 4.2 on pdp+ vax, targeting 6809s and electronics. C lang looks a bit "younger" then. - int is default return type...no need to state it. - vars need to be declared at top of each function - 'register' keyword? I really don't remember that. https://github.com/steveloughran/edinburgh_cs/blob/main/1985-cs1/1985-ee2-c-programming-language.pdf
