-Teaching Assistants and course help
• Try to maintain the same seat and computer STATION through
out the Semester (it facilitates your recognition by name).
• The TAs (Teaching Assistant) grade the Lab assignments only. I
grade everything else. TAs are assigned students, therefore
the same TA grades your lab assignments thoughout the
Semester.
• Another source for help, besides myself and the TAs, is the
ARC (Academic Resource Center). They could have assistants
there who can give you some help with some of the
homework assignments.

Course Topic
• CS115 covers Object Oriented Programming
(OOP)techniques using the Java programming
language.
• No previous programming experience is
required.
• You will be developing programs using Java.
26
Programming Languages
• Computers understand instructions called
statements.
• Statements are written in one of the many
available High Level Languages.
• Java is a High Level Language
– Others are: C++, Ada, C#, BASIC, C, Python etc.
27
Programs
• A program written in a high level language is called:
source program or source code.
• The written program is saved in a file called: source
code file.
• A source code program must be translated into
instructions called: machine code instructions.
• The translation is accomplished via a software tool
called: compiler.
• The machine code is then executed or interpreted.
28
Java Programs- Tools required
• Java Program Development Environment .
– A text Editor is needed to write a Java program.
– It can be as simple as Notepad.
– Or, it can be a IDE (Integrated Development Environment) like
Notepad++ , EditPlus or Eclipse.
– The java compiler and interpreter is needed. This is known as the JDK
(Java Development Kit).
• Both the Editor: Notepad++ and the JDK are available on your class
stations computers.
• We will be using Notepad++ in class. Outside of class, you can use
a text editor of your choice (your own computer) or do your work
in the open lab areas, of the SB building.
