7. Assignments Not trivial! First four are already posted. Electronic submission to onQ. Web site describes policy of diminishing returns for late submission. One submission per person, please! TAs will mark assignments. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod7

8. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod8 Assignment Rules Assignments are graded out of 20 – your marks and comments will be uploaded to onQ by your TA. Late submission: –Your mark will be reduced by 2 marks per day late for five days, unless you can prove extenuating circumstances, such as a serious illness or a Queen’s activity. –Minimum of 2 marks removed after 7pm Friday. –Late assignments will not be accepted by onQ after the following Wednesday. –Don’t leave your assignment to the night before!!!

9. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod9 Assignment Rules, Cont. “Group Efforts”: –I encourage you to discuss your difficulties with your peers, myself and your TAs. –You may look at other people’s code. –You cannot copy other people’s code! –Submissions may be electronically and physically checked for code duplication. –If you are caught with duplicated code – all parties with such code will get zero on the assignment for starters, and you may get prosecuted for a failure of academic integrity. –You will not learn anything if you copy someone else's code!

10. Exercises Nothing is graded or handed in. But, the exercises are designed to prepare you to do the assignments, and Some exercise topics (Console I/O and File I/O) will not be taught in class. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod10

11. Labs Get help from your TA on lecture material, exercises, assignment work, quiz prep, exam prep, etc. No lab this week. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod11

13. onQ Survey Please fill out a onQ quiz called “Lab Section Survey” to indicate which lab section you will attend. Not graded. This is especially important for quizzes. You must write your quiz in the lab you have indicated. And you know which TA will be grading your assignments. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod13

15. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod15 CISC124 Introduction, Cont. Resources –Recommended Textbook:

16. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod16 Eclipse IDE Preferred development environment: –Multiplatform, open source, free. –Available from www.eclipse.org –See the Resources web page. –Works well with JavaFX for GUI construction and testing.

17. JavaFX We will learn to build GUIs with JavaFX. Swing has been effectively depreciated – replaced by this new technology. JavaFX does a great job of separating design from functionality by using separate css and fxml files See the Resources page for configuring Eclipse to use JavaFX. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod17

18. Other IDEs (What does “IDE” stand for anyways? Netbeans, for example. Others are listed or linked off the Resources page. Your TA will not (and should not) know what tool was used to aid the development and testing of your code. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod18

19. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod19 Eclipse – Normal Working View

20. Scene Builder In Eclipse Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod20

21. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod21 Java, Version “8.0” The JDK or “Java Development Kit” is available from oracle.com The JDK and Eclipse are available in Jeff lab (and many other labs, in Goodwin and WLH). Install the JDK first and then Eclipse. See the Resources page. You might also wish to download the API docs.

22. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod22 Purpose of CISC124 What the course is about: (Why are you here?) To learn how to program in Java. To increase your programming proficiency. To learn OOP principles with a modern, object oriented programming language. To transition to a second language. To improve your programming style. To practice modular program design. To explore GUI programming.

23. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod23 Why Java? Not Vendor - Specific. Platform independent. Most fundamentally sound application of OOP principles. Huge community support base. Many free, mature development tools. Once you have learned Java, you will find it easy to pick up any other OOP language (like C++ or C#).

24. Compared to Other Languages In terms of web-visible activity, see the Tiobe Index: http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tp ci/index.html Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod24

25. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod25 Syllabus See the course web site – the “Lecture Topics” page.

26. What You Need to Do Next Review course web site. Check onQ login. Add photo please. Fill out lab section quiz in onQ. Install Eclipse, if you want to use this IDE – see the Resources page. Start Exercise 1. This covers console I/O and will not be discussed in class. At a minimum – do Exercises 1 and 3 before starting assignment 1. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod26

27. Fall 2016CISC124 - Prof. McLeod27 First Example – “Hello World” in Java Let us have a quick look at Eclipse, create an empty project and add a program that displays “Hello World” to the console window.
