  2. CS1 at CCSU • 3-credit introductory programming course for CS majors and non-majors • For the graduate students (non-CS majors) a bridge course in introductory programming – to leap up to advanced programming concepts • Emphasis on the language foundation • Focus on language constructs – syntax and semantics • Working with classes and objects, control structures, and arrays • GUI is dealt in CS2 / Advanced programming course

  3. Programming simple games • Project 1 – Design your own games - a simple word game and - a simple number game • Example Projects • Hangman • Other

  4. Why we chose BlueJ • Interactive • Easy to use • Ideal for introductory programmers • Shows relational diagram much like UML • Visual effect for abstract concepts • Implemented in Java • Runs on all platforms • Debugging features • Free !

  5. BlueJ’s effect on OOP • think in terms of objects – the fundamental units • foundations • From a class create objects • OR to create objects we need a class • From an object invoke a method • OR to use a method there must be an object • Objects exist independently and operations can be executed on them.

  6. The BlueJ Environment • At the functional level -- Objects • At the operational level -- Methods • For a beginner these abstract concepts are difficult to grab. • Visual effect with object and class diagrams and the relations between classes has higher impact in learning and understanding. • BlueJ provides an environment to create and manipulate objects interactively.

  7. BlueJ as an OOP environment Step 1: Create objects .and visualize the outcome Step 2: Manipulate method and visualize the outcome Step 3: Modify existing method .and visualize the outcome Step 4: Add/Create methods .and visualize the outcome Step 5: Create classes .and visualize the outcome Step 6: Establish a relation .and visualize the outcome
