Riassunto

This lab manual is an appropriate supplement for any Introduction to Programming / CS1 course that uses the Java programming language. Its hands-on exercises are intended to help students improve their understanding of the fundamental structures in Java.

This manual is separated into three parts. The first part presents the core of the Java language. These six sessions provide experience with core features and principles of the Java programming language. They provide enough breadth and depth for readers to learn more of Java on their own or in further courses. The second part of the manual helps students explore some issues pertaining to algorithms. In this part, recursion is considered, as well as a few important searching algorithms. Ways to analyze algorithms are also looked at. In the final part of the manual, a number of Java-oriented sessions cover additional topics such as graphics, inheritance, and object design that are not described in the core sessions.

Samuel A. Rebelsky is an assistant professor of computer science at Grinnell College where he has designed an object-oriented data structures and algorithms course, and developed Java laboratories to support that and other introductory-level courses. He taught as a visitor at Dartmouth College from 1993 to 1997, and has taught Java to professionals and educators at the EdMedia World Conference on Educational Multimedia and the WebNet World Conference. Rebelsky's research interests include computer science education, computers in education, hypertext, and programming languages. Professor Rebelsky received his Ph.D. in computer science from the University in Chicago in 1993

Dalla quarta di copertina

This lab manual is appropriate for any Introduction to Programming course that uses the Java programming language. Its hands-on exercises are intended to help students improve their understanding of the fundamental structures in Java. The order of the topics in this manual reflects an objects-first approach with the goal of helping students understand the object-oriented paradigm.

This manual is divided into three parts. The first part presents the core of the Java language. These six sessions provide experience with core features and principles of the Java programming language. They provide enough breadth and depth for readers to learn more of Java on their own or in later courses. The second part of the manual helps students explore issues pertaining to algorithms. Recursion is considered here, as well important searching algorithms. Finally, methods of algorithm analysis are examined. The final part of the manual covers a number of additional topics that are not decribed in the core sessions such as graphics, inheritance, and object design.
