  2. Section 1 Course Syllabus University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  3. Course Objectives • To have fun programming. • To learn how to program: • Games • Simulations • Interactive applications • To get you an “A” for your transcript! University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  4. Course Objectives (more specifically) • To learn how to program in Java. • To understand the fundamentals and the usefulness of object oriented programming (often referred to as “OOP”). • To get you an “A” for your transcript! University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  5. Greenfoot • A development environment that will help you quickly acquire OOP concepts • It is very graphical, teaching the basic concepts quickly. University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  11. You will have to crawl first… University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  12. And you will need to do some of this… University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  15. Where can I run Greenfoot? • It is already installed in Bell 101 and Bell 340. • Click on the UB Linux Penguin at the bottom of the screen. • Select UB Applications and allow the menu on the right to expand. • From that menu, select "Application Development" and from the right menu that appears, select Greenfoot. • The Greenfoot environment is also 100% free, so you can install it on your home machine. http://www.greenfoot.org/getting-started/ University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  16. Book or E-Book, there is no question. • You can pick up the book from the bookstore, it should be fully stocked. • You can also order online: http://www.mypearsonstore.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0136037534 University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  17. Course Operations • The course runs for 13 weeks. • There is a lecture MWF from 9-9:50am in Alumni 97. • All students will need to attend their recitation (lab) in Bell 340 at their assigned times. • Each week we will essentially cover the concepts presented in each chapter of the book. • I will explain the important concepts and syntax. • You will attend lab and step through the chapter. • In lab, your projects will also be explained and you should use the remainder of your lab time to further your progress on your projects. University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  18. How to Win! • See syllabus under “Grading”. The grade will be composed of the following: • 10 lab assignments/assessments 20% • 3 projects 40% • Midterm exam 15% • Final exam (cumulative) 25% University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  19. How not to Lose! • See syllabus under “Cheating”. F University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  22. Teacher Assistants • We will have (I believe) 2 assistants for this course. • They will be available in lab and office hours to: • Help you work through the chapter exercises. • Administer the assignments/assessments that I create. • Grade your projects according to a grading rubric. • Encourage you to do your best. • They will not be available to: • Do your work for you! University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  25. How to get good at programming? • You may as well ask, “How can I get good at anything?!” • Know your available options and tools. (Not necessarily by heart, but be familiar with them) • Learn to recognize an opportunity to use the tools. (Identify the sub-problems to solve.) • Pick the tools that will help you the most. (i.e. save you the most time/effort or work the best for this situation) University at Buffalo: CSE 113 Instructor: Scott Settembre

  26. Summary • This was an overview, the details will come. You will not be overwhelmed and you will have fun! • I will do my best to familiarize you with Greenfoot, Java, and the concepts of programming. • With programming, as with many other careers, a good communicator and team player is extremely important and often worth more than a “code guru”. • (i.e. You do not need to be an code wizard to be valuable.)
