COMP 14 Introduction to Programming Mr. Joshua Stough January 12, 2005 Monday/Wednesday 11:00-12:15 Peabody Hall 218

About COMP 14 Learn how to develop algorithms Learn the basic components of computer programming –can be applied to any programming language (Java, C++, etc.) Is COMP 14 right for you? Requirements / prerequisites –no programming knowledge assumed –Math, algebra

Is COMP 14 Right for You? Do you have web programming experience with Java, perl, php? Experience with “classes” in C++? Some experience with Matlab, Mathematica? Do you know what is meant by Object, method, member variable, recursion, array, sorting algorithms? If yes to any, you may be ready for COMP114 instead.

Weekly Schedule Lecture –Monday/Wednesday, 11:00AM-12:15PM –Friday, 11:00-11:50AM –Peabody Hall 218 You must attend the above recitation.

Lecture Format Review previous material –questions Present new material In-class exercises –work in groups Lecture notes are posted, but may be modified shortly after lecture. Notebook computers closed please.

What’s A Recitation? Mini-lab led by me –extra programming practice –I can answer questions from lecture You will work in groups Each group should always have a laptop and textbook No new material will be covered

Textbook Required Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design D. Malik, P. Nair ISBN: Lightly Recommended Java Programming: Lab Manual Judy Scholl ISBN:

Software jGRASP –on public lab machines All Programs / UNC Courseware / COMP 14 –you can install on your machine see “Course Documents” on web this Friday's recitation We’ll do a tour later...

Computer Labs 8 Labs Maintained by UNC ITS Locations, schedules, and a map on course web site You may do homework there (jGRASP is installed on all UNC lab machines)

COMP 14 Map

Grades assignments 65% –both programs and book midterm 15% final 20-30% –If the final is an improvement over the midterm, it may count more. total100%

Assignments Please submit both paper AND electronic copies by 11:59PM on the due date. –turn in using Blackboard, box for COMP on Sitterson 0 th floor near elevator Homework assignments from textbook –practice for exams Programming assignments –budget hours per program design, code, debugging –start early!

Submitting Assignments All assignments will be submitted through Blackboard All assignments must include the honor code pledge –I need signed pledge on paper before Assn 0 due. –Make it the first thing you put onto any assignment. – Submission Errors –I will you and give a deadline for re-submitting –don't change your assignment (not even if you need to add the honor code pledge) –not checking your is not an excuse for missing the deadline

Late Policy Late assignments are not accepted Exceptions will be made as necessary "I started late and something came up" is not an acceptable excuse

Working in the Lab Before you open jGRASP and start coding (and asking for help): –read the assignment –think about what the assignment is asking for –review lectures and examples on the topic –write (yes, on paper) your plan for completing the assignment (i.e., your algorithm) talk to/ me if you’re having trouble at this point

Campus File System Andrew File System (AFS) Disk space associated with your Onyen –automatically backed up by UNC AFS in the lab –automatically appears as drive H: when you log in On your personal machine –you can install the AFS Client –won’t see drive H: unless you’re connected to the network (i.e., can access the Internet) More information –see External Links on the course Blackboard site

Backup Your Work! Backup your work! You will lose something at some point –you might have to learn the hard way Use your AFS space –use of AFS space is not required, but is recommended Search for “backup” in the Windows help

Help! For help on general computer problems, including getting AFS enabled on your laptop or at home Also, for free software

Collaborating Don’t cheat! –You can talk to each other about the lecture topics talk about assignment requirements work in groups during recitation on recitation assignments only –You should do your own assignments -- design and code –You should never talk to each other about assignment solutions share code -- it is easy to detect and we will prosecute Pledge Form

Sending to me Put COMP 14 in subject line For example: –COMP 14, I’m lost –COMP 14, This course is too easy

Homework 0 Introduction to Blackboard –10 points –instructions online under “Assignments” Due Monday (Jan 17) at 11:59pm Write a text document and turn it in using Blackboard

jGRASP Tour

This Week's Recitation Bring your laptop! We will install jGRASP We will write our first Java program Read Chapter 1 to get in the mood and look at the Quick Review sections for Chapters 1 and 2.
