The assignment (More info on marking here ).

nb - wed 16 feb - this class will not happen. I will re-schedule it later - sorry!

There is a Java system on the CD's I circulated earlier.

Reading week material - also handed out on paper

Books: I will provide several chapters from 'Java For Students' by Bell & Parr 4th ED
It is not in the shops yet, but the 3rd ed is. There are differences.
There is also 'Java - how to program' by Deitel & Deitel. Hopefully, you will not need a book.

We will use the Swing GUI library. App A in the notes has details.

Schedule
Lecture: intro
Lecture: methods
Lecture: OOD intro
Lecture: inheritance
Tutorial 1

Firstly, create a folder to hold all your Java programs. It should not contain a space, and the path to it should not contain a space. SO:
f:\mywork\javaprogs is fine
f:\fun stuff\java progs is wrong, for 2 reasons.

To run japa at shu: go to Q drive on network. Run:
Q:\staff\mikeparr\japafiles\japa.exe
To create the framework for a program, try: File| New Swing TextField... or new Swing Drawing...

Tut 2: here is the tutorial
and here is the code
Note: be careful when downloading the code. Be sure you save it in a file named DemoFile.java, in a folder with no spaces in. (Sometimes, Internet Explorer adds a .txt at the end of java file names as it downloads. Delete the .txt if need be.)

When you have downloaded the code, run japa, and use File|open.
