CS 178 Programming with Multimedia Objects

Involve your Family Program

Dear students of CS 178:

While you learn the intricacies of Java programming in CS 178, you could have some family fun too! Here are at least two ways.....

  • Develop an applet that sings "Happy Birthday" to your Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa or whomever you like to send greetings. Record your own version of, for example, "Happy Birthday" using a PC/Mac, a Microphone and any .wav file generation software. Link this applet to your web site and invite your favorite person to click on the applet.

  • Develop an applet that shows recent pictures of yourself taken on the Purdue campus. Send a link to this applet to your family members. I bet they would love to see you through your very own applet.
All "nice" and "working" applets will be linked to the course site. Your family members can view them directly via the course page.
