  2. Text: Big Java: Cay Horstman • Compiler: Metrowerks Codewarrior Java Compiler • Learning Version 4 • Grading: • Tests 40% • Programs 40% • Homework 20% • Misc: A Quick History Lesson: • From Top-Down Procedural Programming to OOP • Pascal(15 years): Top-down procedural programming. Procedures & Functions -> 2 chapters • C++(5 years): Chapters 1-8 procedural. Eased into OOP in chapter 9. Funtions only - > Same stuff in only 1 chapter. • Java(2nd year): OOP from day 1. Because of the nature of OOP, Functions <or> Methods from the start. No chapters to cover what was once done in 2! • Why Java? • Widely used OOP language. • Platform independent. • Extensive event driven window applications capabilities.
