  1. Comp 110Introduction to Programming Liang-Jun Zhang MTWRF 9:45-11:15 am Sitterson Hall 011

  2. Outline • Course Introduction • Administrative things

  3. What Is Programming? • Crafting a set of instructions to solve a problem • Analogy: cooking recipes • Ingredients (potatoes, banana, tofu, milk) • Procedures (cut, fry, stew, mix) • Results (potato banana ice cream) • Hello world demo • Sorting algorithm demo • http://www.Kayak.com Program Output Input

  4. What Is Programming? • Who “reads” computer programs? • The physical computer • Humans (yourself, your coworkers, your instructor) • Must be clear and well-structured • Programming with pen and paper

  5. About COMP 110 • Learn the basic components of computer programming • can be applied to any programming language (Java, C++, etc.) • Is COMP 110 right for you? • Require basic computer skills • No programming knowledge assumed • Math, algebra

  6. Is COMP 110 Right for You? • Do you have web programming experience with Java, perl, php? • Experience with “classes” in C++? • Some experience with Matlab, Mathematica? • Do you know what is meant by Object, method, member variable, recursion, array, sorting algorithms? If yes to any, you may be ready for COMP401 instead.

  7. About Me • UNC Ph.D. student, will start 4th year • Research interests - Robotics, graphics • http://www.cs.unc.edu/~zlj • zlj@cs.unc.edu • Sitterson 330, 919-962-1737(O)

  8. About You • Introduce yourself to the class - name - year - major - something special about you …

  9. Course Webpage • http://www.cs.unc.edu/~zlj/comp110 • UNC Blackboard System • http://blackboard.unc.edu • Lecture notes • Sample codes • Assignments • Checking grades

  10. Weekly Schedule • Lecture • MTWRF, 9:45-11:15 am, Sitterson Hall 011 • Bring your laptop • Needn’t bring the textbook • Schedule • Office Hours • MTWR 1:00-3:00PM, SN-019 (PC-Lab) • Extra office hours by appointment

  11. Lecture Format • Review previous material • Answer any questions • Present new material • Notebook computers closed please • In-class exercises and programming • use laptop computer • work individually or in groups • Feel free to ask questions anytime

  12. Lecture Notes • Will be posted shortly after lecture • Might be modified

  13. Textbook Required Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design D. Malik The 3rd edition: ISBN 1-4239-0135-5

  14. Software • Java SDK (JDK) • jGRASP • Please install them on your laptop • See the homework 0 • We’ll do a tour tomorrow

  15. Grades

  16. Assignments • Homework assignments from textbook • practice for exams • Programming assignments • May need to demonstrate the executable code by yourself • budget 8-10 hours per program • design, code, debugging • start early! • Deadline • For assignments needed to turn in, the deadlines are due at 10:59pm on the due date • For assignments needed to demonstrate, the deadlines are before the demo time.

  17. Submitting Assignments • All programming assignments will be submitted through Blackboard • Include the demo codes • All assignments must include the honor code pledge • I need signed pledge on paper. • Make it the first thing you put onto any assignment. • http://cs.unc.edu/~zlj/comp110/assignments.html

  18. Collaborating • You can • talk to each other about the lecture topics • talk about assignment requirements • work in groups during recitation on recitation assignments only • You should • do your own assignments -- design and code • You should never • talk to each other about assignment solutions • share code -- it is easy to detect and we will prosecute Pledge Form

  19. Late Policy • Late submission - if less than 24hrs : 25% off - if less than 48hrs : 50% off - not accepted after 48 hrs

  20. Before Coding • Before you open jGRASP and start coding • read the assignment • think about what the assignment is asking for • review lectures and examples on the topic • write (yes, on paper) your plan for completing the assignment (i.e., your algorithm) • talk to/email me if you’re having trouble at this point

  21. Backup Your Work! • Backup your work frequently! • You will lose something at some point • you might have to learn the hard way • Use your AFS(Andrew File System) space • use of AFS space is not required, but is recommended • you can install the AFS Client to your notebook

  22. Quizzes and Exams • Three or fours quizzes • Middle exam (around Jul 9) • Final exam (Jul 24, 8:00-11:00 AM)

  23. Help! • For help on general computer problems, including getting AFS enabled on your laptop or at home • For help on the course related problems, ask the instructor http://help.unc.edu 962-HELP

  24. Sending Email to me • Put COMP 110 in subject line • For example: • COMP 110, I’m lost • COMP 110, This course is too easy

  25. Introduction of jGrasp • Demo

  26. Homework 0 • Sign the paper pledge form • Turn on the Answer the answers in the survey through blackboard • Install JDK & jGRASP • JDK 6 Update 6 • http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp • jGRASP 1.8.6_08 (March 21, 2008) • http://spider.eng.auburn.edu/user-cgi/grasp/grasp.pl?;dl=download_jgrasp.html • Run sample Java program • If you cannot install or run JDK or jGrasp, bring your laptop tomorrow to the class.

  27. Next Class • Overview of computers and programming languages • Turn in pledge form • Turn in the course survey 10:59PM, Jun 19 • Bring your laptop
