CS 1323-020: Introduction to Computer Programming
(Fall 2014)

Introduction to the design and implementation of computer software with an emphasis on abstraction and program organization.

Required Resources:

Textbook: Java Programming: From the Ground Up (Bravaco and Simonson; McGraw-Hill, 1st edition, ISBN-13: 978-0073523354)
- An electronic copy is available from CourseSmart. This electronic version is less expensive than buying the hardcopy of the text book, but it is a rental that lasts only 180 days. [also, we cannot anticipate right now whether this same book will be used for the next course in the Java sequence]
We are using Tophat as an interactive classroom tool during the semester. This tool interfaces to your laptop and your cell phone (smart or not). All students are required to sign up for the Tophat service ($20 for the semester for all classes; or $38 for 5 years for all classes). [while Tophat is being used for the next Java course this semester, there are no guarantees that it will be used in the future]
We are also using Turing's Craft for on-line programming exercises. The cost will be $25 for the semester. Registration and payment details are discussed on the news page for this course on D2L.
