A few people have asked me for lecture notes over the years so I'll just post them here as a download. It's been years so I don't entirely remember, but I think I made them in StarOffice Writer and used them on overhead slides. Lecture notes (zip file)

Course content

• Syllabus
• Homework questions
• Programming assignments

• Lecture 1 outline - lecture 1 is posted because I didn't setup the projector right
• Examples
  
  • Intro example - an example showing the very basics of Java
  • Zoo animals - shows basic OOP
  • Tucan Javadoc - a simeple class with some Javadoc comments
  • Line numberer - a character IO program to number lines of a file
  • File splitter - a program to split/join files into smaller chunks (to fit on multiple floppies/CDRs)
  • IM Window - my solution to the example program from class

  • Time server - example of client and server side TCP networking
  • Basic servlet - your basic Hello world servlet
  • Shopping cart servlet - a servlet for displaying a list of items to buy and maintaining a shopping cart. Note: I wrote this before Java 1.5, so that's why you don't see generics being used with the Collections framework, and why I have to use an Iterator manually instead of a for-each loop.
  • Basic JSP menu system -the shell of a basic takeout menu system. It doesn't do much in the way of actually displaying the menu images, however, as it's just a simple example.
• List of topics - a list of the big topics of the semester, in case you want it to study by
