Cosi 11: Sum09
Introduction to Programming in Java and C

WELCOME
Instructor: Tim Hickey

Text: We will be using online notes at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html

In this class we will learn the fundamentals of Java and C programming in about five weeks, meeting three times a week for 2.5 hours a day. It is an intense, immersive and exciting way to learn how to program and we will divide each day into a lecture section to introduce concepts followed by a lab section to experiment with those concepts.

At the end of this class you will be able to write short programs in Java and C from scratch and you will a solid understanding of the Java and C programming languages.
