12/20/2006    As requested yesterday, I have posted the recursive square root program, the insertion sort program, and the square graphic display program that we went over in class yesterday.  They are on the Quiz & Test Samples page.

12/15/2006    As promised, I posted a sample final exam on the Quiz & Test Samples page.  Also, a reminder that the square program (get user input, display new square and its area from a graphical user interface) and the square root recursion program are due Tuesday.  Please e-mail them to me before class.  We have already covered this material in class, so it should be basically done already.  We will go over the sample quiz on Tuesday and the final will be on Thursday.

12/08/2006    As assigned in class, complete programming exercise P13.3 on page 512 of the textbook.  Additionally, make a graphical interface for this to have the user enter the xCenter, yCenter, & sideLength of the square.  Then display the square and print the area.  This assignment is due Tuesday.  I have attached the Hex program on the Quiz & Test Samples page as a reference.

12/04/2006    Class will be held today 12:00 - 14:00 in Room LRC 432.  I sent an e-mail to all students last Friday morning  (12/1) as discussed in class on Thursday (11/30).

11/29/2006   I included the animation program we were doing in Lab under the Quiz & Test Samples page.  I also included the Chapter lecture slides for the recent chapters we have covered.

11/4/2006    The TicTacToe program that I demonstrated in class on Thursday is posted on the Quiz & Test Samples page.  We will go over it on Tuesday.

11/1/2006    I have posted Programming Assignment #4 above.  It is due on Thursday 11/09.  I will post a sample program on Monday and we will review it in lab on Tuesday 11/07.

10/30/2006 I posted the solution program for Programming Assignment #3 on the Quiz & Test Samples page.  I will be posting Programming Assignment #4 later this week.

10/23/2006  I posted the solutions of the MidTerm exam along with the Practice Exam solutions on the Quiz & Test Samples page.  I also posted a sample program for  Programming Assignment #3 which is due on Thursday 10/26.  We will go over these tomorrow in class.

10/13/2006  I posted a sample MidTerm exam in the Quiz & Test Samples page.  We will go over it in class on Tuesday and do the Lab Exam during the lab period.

10/11/2006  The homework assignment #3 (Due 26 October), presentations for chapters 7 and 9, and the homework #2 programming solutions are all posted.  As you can see, I found the right person today and got access back to my website.

9/28/2006    I posted a sample program for assignment #2.   The sample program implements input error checking, a "while" loop, and the Euclidean Algorithm for computing the GCF.  It is available on the Quiz & Test Samples page.  I also added the presentation for chapters 4 and 6 which we have finished.  The self check questions for chapter 6 are due Tuesday, and the programming assignment is due next Thursday, 5 October.  I also added a link for "javadoc" Doc Check and other tools and documentation for using the "javadoc" program.

9/22/2006    I posted assignment #2 above.  The assignment will be due on 5 October.  We finished Chapter 4 yesterday, so the Self Check Questions are due next Tuesday along with those from Chapter 3. 

As I want to move towards decisions and programming flow control, we will bypass Chapter 5 for now and move directly to Chapter 6.  Chapter 5 has to do with graphical output which is more of an optional topic.  We will get to it, but I want to cover Chapter 6 first so that you can get started on the assignment.

9/20/2006    I posted the presentation slides for chapter 3 and the code for programming assignment #1 on the Quiz & Test Samples page.  You can go there to see the way I wrote the code.  My way is not always the best, but in general meets all of the requirements.  There are innumerable ways to code the same process, and it is always interesting to see the creativity of students writing programs.  The Self Check Questions for Chapter 3 are due when you finish them and no later than Tues 26 Sep.

9/11/2006  I fixed a few links and added a sample program for the first programming assignment.  We will go over it in the Lab class tomorrow.

9/8/2006    As we finished chapter 1 yesterday in class, the Self Check questions will be due next class period, Tuesday, 9/12/2006.  I also fixed the link to the presentation slides for Chapter 1.  In general, I will post the presentation slides after we finish each chapter (although I already put up Chapter 2).

9/7/2006    The first programming assignment is linked above, and will be due on 9/19/2006.

9/6/2006    There was a problem with transferring data to the server which resulted in the site reverting back to the old site.  This is fixed now and the new site is up.  We will go over it tomorrow in class.

9/5/2006    Welcome to the Fall 2006 semester at Mesa!  This site will fill out as the semester progresses.  For now, it includes the syllabus, the first assignment, and the slide presentation for chapter 1 of our text, and some web references for Java (including software downloads).
