Text

The textbook is Java: An Open Introduction, by myself. It is available for free to my students. You can read it here, but you will need to get the login and password from me.

Other Resources

Additional resources will be placed here.

• If you wish to configure your personal system to program, you can find the instructions here. We will start by using the BlueJ programming environment. If you are doing well in the class and would like to move on, you may also use Emacs or Eclipse.
• The applet on sorters (selection, bubble, and shaker) is here.

Homework

Specific assignments are given below. Please note that homeworks are very important, and make up a very large portion of your grade. If you fall behind, you will likely do poorly on the exams as well. Homework should follow the specifications given here.

Homeworks can be turned in on Canvas.

Exam Grades

The exam distributions will be placed here, after they are graded.

• Midterm 1
• Midterm 2

Class Schedule

This is a problable schedule for the class. I may change it depending on how the class progresses. We will start by talking about basic data structure and control, and from there move into more complicated object-oriented programs.
