Try to maintain the same seat and computer STATION through out the Semester (it facilitates your recognition by name).
The TAs grade the Lab assignments only. I grade everything else. TAs are assigned students, therefore the same TA grades your lab assignments thoughout the Semester.
Another source for help, besides myself and the Tas, is the ARC (Academic Resource Center). They could have assistants there who can give you some help with some of the homework assignments.

21. Course Topic
CS115 covers Object Oriented Programming (OOP)techniques using the Java programming language.
No previous programming experience is required.
You will be developing programs using Java.

22. Programming Languages
Computers understand instructions called statements.
Statements are written in one of the many available High Level Languages.
Java is a High Level Language
Others are: C++, Ada, C#, BASIC, C, Python etc.

23. Programs
A program written in a high level language is called: source program or source code.
The written program is saved in a file called: source code file.
A source code program must be translated into instructions called: machine code instructions.
The translation is accomplished via a software tool called: compiler.
The machine code is then executed or interpreted.

24. Java Programs- Tools required
Java Program Development Environment .
A text Editor is needed to write a Java program.
It can be as simple as Notepad.
Or, it can be a IDE (Integrated Development Environment) like Notepad++ , EditPlus or Eclipse.
The java compiler and interpreter is needed. This is known as the JDK (Java Development Kit).
Both the Editor: Notepad++ and the JDK are available on your class stations computers.
We will be using Notepad++ in class. Outside of class, you can use a text editor of your choice (your own computer) or do your work in the open lab areas, of the SB building.

25. INFORMATION ON JAVA Web sites for Java material:
To download Java Development Kit for your own computer (optional)--
For online Tutorial
For the Java API (Application Programming Interface)

26. INFORMATION ON JAVA
It is advisable that at some point you download on your laptop (or desktop) what you need in order to develop Java programs (that is a text editor and the JDK).
You will need help from me in order to install it on your laptop. DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK ME!!
