We'll use the following book:
Java Concepts, Fourth Edition
Cay Horstmann
Wiley
ISBN 0-471-69704-4
The author maintains a web-page associated with book
here. Most of the slides presented at the lectures are taken from this webpage
During this course, you will have to
- hand in your solution to at least 3 out of 6 exercises (in groups of up to three students)
- hand in your solution to 3 mini projects (solved individually)
- take a small oral exam (15 minutes) in your mini projects
Solutions to exercises may be send to me by email. Please indicate clearly who has participated solving the exercise
Solutions to mini projects should include the programs developed as well as a description of the program. Such a description may outline known errors in your solution and should also present any extension that you have added to your solution.
Exercises
Exercises should be solved in groups of up to three students.They may be handed in by sending me an email with the solution (preferably by copy-pasting the solution into the email body rather than attaching it). Remember to state clearly at the top of the email who participated in solving the exercise.
