From August 31st to October 28th: lectures on Mondays and Wednesdays, 9:15-12:00; exception: there will be no lectures in the week Spetember 28 - October 4. Lectures will be held in room Alfons on the 2nd floor in house Patricia.
Supervision sessions: Mondays 13:15-15:00, and Wednesdays and Thursdays 15:15-17:00, in the main supervision hall (Mållgan).
During the course there will be 3 written assignments preferably carried out in groups of 2 students (exceptions have to be agreed with the instructor). Assignments must be submitted via the GUL, otherwise they cannot be graded. Students are allowed to submit each assignment at most three times. Submission deadlines are strict and will be announced during the course.
Exercises to be solved during the supervision sessions will be published here.
In the first part of the course, the lectures will introduce the most important concepts of imperative and object-oriented programming. In the second part we will concentrate more on applications and features of the Java programming language.
To pass the course, students must pass all assignments and the written exam.
Grading scale comprises: Pass with Distinction (VG), Pass (G) and Fail (U).
To be awarded Pass (G) for the full course, students must pass both the exam part and
the written assignments part with at least grade (G). To be awarded Pass with
Distinction (VG) for the full course, students must, in addition, receive a VG on the
exam part and at least 2 VGs on the assignments part.
The final exam will roughly have the same structure as previous years. Find here
a compilation of old exams.
Introduction to Programming Using Java, Seventh Edition by David J. Eck. This book will be used during the first part of the course to introduce the basic programming concepts in Java. The lectures will roughly follow the same structure as the book.
Java: Learning to Program with Robots,Course Technology 2007 by Byron W. Becker. The book is out of print, but is available here. We will use this book during the second part of the course to experiment with programming in the large making use of existing software packages.
Daniel Liang Introduction to Java Programming, Comprehensive, any edition from the seventh on. This book is useful as a reference, and is the recommended book to bring with you to the exam. (But any other comprehensive reference will do. Talk to Musard when in doubt.)
