Welcome

Welcome to Programming Fundamentals with Java.

This book is a compilation of material that I have published over the years for the benefit of those students who desire to enroll in my beginning OOPcourse but who don't have the required prerequisite knowledge for that course. If you fall in that category, or if you just want to get a good introduction tocomputer programming, you may find this material useful.

Even if you have completed a programming fundamentals course in another language, or you have considerable programming experience in another language, you maystill find this material useful as an introduction to the Java programming languageand its syntax.

In case you decide that you don't need to study the material in this group of modules, you may still find it useful to take a look at the following threemodules. These three modules will show you how to configure your computer and get started programming in Java.

You may also find it useful to search the web for and study a few tutorials on the Windows "command prompt" as well as a few tutorials on Windows batchfiles. Here are a couple of possibilities that I found with a rudimentary search:

If you are using a different operating system, you may need to find similar tutorials that match up with the operating system that you areusing.

Most of the topics in this Book are divided into two modules -- a primary module and a review module. The review modules contain review questions and answers keyed tothe material in the primary modules.

In addition to the modules contained in this group, you will find several of my other tutorials on programming fundamentals at Obg0510: Programming Fundamentals . Those tutorials are still in their original html format and you may need to goto the Legacy Site to access them fully. They are awaiting conversion to cnxml, which is a requirement for publishing them as modules oncnx.org.

As you work your way through the modules in this group, you should prepare yourself for the more challenging ITSE 2321 OOP tracks identified below:

The DrJava IDE and the Java Development K It

In order to work with the material in this group of Programming Fundamentals modules, you will need access to Oracle's Java Development Kit (JDK) . You will also need access to a text editor, preferably one that is tailored to the creation of Java programs. One suchfreely available text editor is named DrJava .

However, DrJava is more than just a text editor. It is an Integrated Development Environment ((IDE) that is designed for use by students learning how to program in the Java programming language. Irecommend it for use with this group of Programming Fundamentals modules.

See A Quick Start Guide to DrJava for instructions on downloading and installing both the DrJava IDE and Oracle'sJava Development Kit (JDK) .

The Quick Start Guide also provides instructions for using the DrJava IDE.

Oyerinde Reply
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
