Software

• For the course, you may use any IDE you are comfortable using. I will use one or
more of the following in the classroom:
• Notepad++ and JDK
• Eclipse
• Netbeans
• All these products can be downloaded from the web for free.
• The next presentations will include instructions on downloading and installing these
programs.
• If you do not have your own computer, the computer labs on campus have the
software.

Grading

• Your grade will be determined as follows:

• First Midterm (20%)

• Homework , Project (possible quizzes) (20%)

• Final Exam (60%)

• Class participation will help your grade!!!!

Student Civility

In an effort to make this class enjoyable for everybody…

• Please be on time to class!
• Please do not talk to your friends and neighbors in class! It disturbs
everyone, and makes it hard to concentrate. If you have a question, just ask
me at end time of class!
• Please turn your cell-phones off!
• Please be on time in the class other ways you will be absent.

What the class is really about

• There are two main goals of this course:

1. Learn the Basics of Java Programming

2. Learn the Core Concepts of Programming Languages

Kamaluddin Behzad 11
1. Learn the Basics of Java Programming

• Java is a popular programming language, widely used in industry.

• We will cover the fundamentals of java programming language like the
following:
Data Type, Variables, Arithmetic, Decisions, Loops, Arrays, Methods, etc.

2. Learn the Core Concepts of all High level
Languages
• There are many programming languages available:
Pascal, C, C++, Java, Ada, Perl, PHP, Python, Go, ASP.NET, etc
.
• All of these languages share core concepts.
• By focusing on these concepts, you are better able to learn any
programming language.
• Hence, by learning Java, you are poised to learn other languages,
such as C++ or Perl.

…

• By learning the core concepts, you are also much more marketable as
you are able to learn new technologies quicker.
• Java has a construct called a for loop that enables a program to
repeat actions over and over.
Most other languages also have a for loop.
• Hence, by learning about for loops in Java, you can easily learn for
loops in C,C++, Ada, PHP, Python, etc.

Programming Languages

• Machine Language
• Assembly Language
• High Level Languages
Java
C++
Go
Python
VB.NET
C#.NET

Machine Language (1st Generation)

• Advantage
The only advantage is that program of machine language run very fast
because no translation program is required for the CPU.
• Disadvantages
It is very difficult to program in machine language. The programmer has to
know details of hardware to write program.
The programmer has to remember a lot of codes to write a program which
results in program errors.
It is difficult to debug the program.

High-level Languages 3rd Generation

• Easy to learn and use.

• Use English and mathematical symbols like +, -, %, / etc.
• Has to be converted to machine language for the computer to
understand.
