1 Welcome to Advanced programming in Java Summer course 2005 introduction

2 You may learn a few things about Java reflections and other Java APIs Threads database programming Servlets, JSP XML GUI and graphics Design patterns And more… you decide…

3 Last year? Throughput 28 G. 32 U. (1 person per assignment) Literature Good/Bad. Assignments Instructive. Varied. Mostly positive. Examination Everyone approved skipping written examination.

4 A different course? This course is 100% pace Just like last year. Most cs-students are accustomed to 50% pace. Early wake-up is key to success. No written exam 4 assignments of varying difficulty and size. In groups of 2. Grade: G or U.

5 Mission impossible? Why does it feel like mission impossible midway through the course? Did you get a jump start at day 1? Did you work effectively 40h a week? Did you utilize your literature, peers and supervisors? ~1 July. Go hunt some well deserved summer. Don’t lie to yourselves about doing the rest in July or August. Let’s get busy today.

6 Feel welcome …with stupid questions …to help your peers with new bright ideas. (never share syntax though) …to have fun and explore

10 Cheating vs. Helping Read the “Code of honor”. Dare to talk with your peers. Share ideas, not code/syntax. Mention it in the report. Don’t get stuck for too long. This is a high pace course. Don’t sit at home. Get up early and join your peers on campus. Don’t cheat. There are two kinds of people. Those who listen, and those who should listen.

11 Why come to lecture? 10:00 query the supervisors at the lecture room. An efficient way of keeping up to date with other students problems and possible solutions. 10:15 lecture …that is connected to the assignments, and student questions. Not longer than necessary. A few lectures is not connected to the assignments. Feel free to ask for special lecture topics.
