| Write programs..lots of them. You will likely make errors, correct them. You might make more errors, correct more. Writing a correct program is often an iterative process. Learn through experimentation. Ask yourself "How can this be done?" and write a program to check out the answer. Learn by doing and not only by reading a book. Remember, programming is a skill that you can use to solve problems of interest to YOU and to others. Acquire this skill through practice! Later, if you choose to take a course on Software Engineering, you will learn more about how to design and code "large" programs. For now, we would like you to learn how to write "small", though useful, programs. |
Textbook: programming.java. Rick Decker and Stuart Hirshfield. Brooks/Cole. Second Edition 2000.
All reading assignments are from the textbook. In-class quizzes will be based on material covered during that day's lecture or covered recently.
I rarely use slides in this course. Instead, I show students a program and explain the algorithm(s) used and other language related concepts by tracing through the algorithm and using the plain old chalkboard. All programs used in the class are accessible from this site prior to the start of the lecture. Lectures are highly interactive and all students are encouraged to be active participants and not remain passive listeners.
