Required Textbooks:
John Lewis and William Loftus, "Java Software Solutions", 3rd editionAddison-Wesley, 2003, ISBN 0-201-78129-8 or 0-321-19719-4.
We used this book in CSci 53 as well; we will probably refer to it in this course, especially the later chapters.
John Lewis and Joe Chase, "Java Software Structures, 1st edition
Addison-Wesley, 2004, ISBN 0-201-78878-0.
This is the main textbook for this course; we will cover about one chapter per week!
Read each assignment before the lecture for which it is scheduled! The book discusses much more than I can cover in class, and I will cover things not in the book. BE PREPARED TO BE CALLED ON IN CLASS, AND FOR QUIZZES!
Other readings will be distributed in class and placed on the course
website.
You are responsible for reading each lecture's assigned material before
coming to class!
