CSC 142 Computer Science II Zhen Jiang West Chester University zjiang@wcupa.edu
Outline • Motivation • Basic items (review of decision structure, loop, etc) • Topics
Motivation • Why computer programming? • Software Engineer (listed as #3 in http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/the-10-best-and-worst-jobs-of-2013/2013/05/03/fccd6a8e-b1ab-11e2-bbf2-a6f9e9d79e19_gallery.html#photo=1)

Critical thinking, abstraction, motivation • How can I obtain all these • How can I prepare myself • How can I prove myself
Research project • Critical thinking, communication, etc. • Real competition, deadline, pressure • More realistic system, complex programming, for instance, http://www.cis.temple.edu/~jiang/RSU_van.pptx. • Student opportunities: http://www.cs.wcupa.edu/~zjiang/student_info.htm • Sponsorship • http://www.cs.wcupa.edu/~zjiang/ISC2013.pptx. • NSF, NSA, etc • Industry interns
Textbook • Highlighted by content in ppt slides • Indexed by page number in ppt slides • Discussion • Summary • Exercises (in ppt slides and class), quiz, project, test, final
Basic Items • Development environment • I/O, variable, assignment, String, etc. • http://www.cs.wcupa.edu/~zjiang/csc141index.htm or • http://www.cis.temple.edu/~jiang/csc141a.ppt • Decision structure, and Loop • Review 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 • http://www.cis.temple.edu/~jiang/csc141b.ppt • http://www.cis.temple.edu/~jiang/csc141c.ppt
