You will need only a few lines of html to post an applet to
your web page. The example here shows
both a minimal home page as well as the html file needed to point to an applet
class file.

- About
the course: This is not a first
course in computer science. You should already be able to program in java
or C++, and be familiar with some programming environment here on
campus. NOTE: There will be several hand-in projects during the
semester. You will have 2-3 weeks for each project and will need all this
time to complete them, even if you are a good programmer. Programming
is a required component of this course.
Although we are primarily interested in other aspects of
computer science, we will implement algorithms and explore topics through
their implementation as Applets or applications in java. Class
examples will all be done in Java. Student projects will be completed in
Java. An introduction to Java programming will be provided as part
of the course material. I am available to help on
projects. My office help is contingent on your coming to class and
keeping up with all class work, including running examples programs and
exercises I give you. Additionally, I will not provide assistance on a
project after the due date of the project. Late projects receive 3
points deduction for each school day late up to one week (5 days). After
that they receive no credit.
- Course
Goals and Objectives: Students
will study OOP-OOD principles of encapsulation and abstraction, object
design, inheritance and will improve programming skills acquired in their
first CSCI course by implementing a number of projects using
object-oriented implementations. Students will be able to perform set,
logical and Boolean algebraic operations. Students will learn radix
positional notation as well as various number conversion algorithms and
internal (computer) data representation. Students will learn about
operating systems. Students will be introduced to automata theory
and applications (FSM, pushdown stacks, and TM). If time permits there may
be coverage of databases and computer communications. Students
will show their competence in these topic areas through class participation,
exams or programming projects.
If you live off campus and wish to map to your (campus account) w drive you’ll need a ppp account and you’ll need to use a file transfer protocol
like Filezilla to move files back and forth from your
desktop to your w drive (see HelpDesk - HelpDesk pages - or HelpDesk
staff for more details).
