| The table specifies the topics we will cover in each week. Make sure to read the relevant sections of the text
for a given week. Read as much as possible before you
come to class and lab. The text for the last part of the course will be either in the form of additional reading, lab notes,
or lecture notes.
You will also learn to read Java documentation and to use Java libraries.
At this point you have to take responsibility for your own learning. A comprehensive list of lectures from earlier semesters can be found
here. A complete list of lectures for Spring 2007 semester can be found
here. Lectures for Fall 2008 semester can be found
here. Current lecture notes (Summer 2010) will be posted as needed on the wiki. | Topic of the Week: Lectures, Reading | Dates |
