This web site is designed to provide supplemental material, extra class notes,
and real code examples for students taking CS 103.
To the left you will see an index of this web site. Take a minute to read the
brief descriptions below to familarize yourself with the site layout.
You will find much of the material on this web page follows the lectures very closely
and can be useful in supplementing your class notes. Be careful, though, of falling into
the trap that so many have done and think that all of the material covered in class is
on this web page and that regular class attendence is not really necessary. There is some
critical key information that will be missed if you are not in class. That information
will not be repeated, nor added to the web page if you miss it.
Main Page -- The starting page where the index first appears. This is the
page where the cartoon warns you to fasten your seat belt.
Announcements -- The page you are currently reading.
Getting Started -- Here you will find information on how to get Java installed on
your computer and how to get the free compiler (Eclipse) which will be used in class.
Software Engineering -- This is mostly stuff that is of interest to Computer
Science majors, but you may find it interesting also.
Code Vault -- Enter adventurer, if you dare, into the dark regions of the
Code Vault where you will find lurking many demon code examples from the depths
of the programming realm. Most of this is C++ code but you are welcome to venture
in if you want.
Note that some of these pages are still under construction and most will have
a note, in small type, at the top telling you the last date when the page
was updated.
