  1. COP 3503 Fall 2012ShayanJavedLecture 1 Programming Fundamentals using Java

  2. Info • http://www.cise.ufl.edu/class/cop3503fa12/ • E-mail: sjaved@cise.ufl.edu • Office: CSE 337

  3. Introduction • Object-Oriented Programming • Using Java • Basic Algorithms/Problem Solving • Data Structures

  4. Introduction • Form foundation for further programming. • Should be able to write relatively complex programs on your own!

  5. Why Programming?

  6. Why Programming? • A tool to solve problems. • Use Algorithms: An algorithm is an effective procedure for solving a problem expressed as a finite sequence of instructions. “effective procedure” = program

  7. Where is it used? • Financial industry. • All scientific fields. • Complex websites. • 3D Graphics and CAD • Videogames • Mobile devices • Etc….

  8. What about Java specifically? • Very popular for servers (JSP, servlets, etc.) • Lots of libraries • Can be used for anything really… • Used in a certain popular mobile operating system.

  9. What about Java specifically? • Android! Well Blackberry too but… • Mobile market is huge now. • Get into it while you can. • Emulator for the OS provided by Google.

  10. Personally… • Started learning Java in 2004. • Used it in projects like: • Classic turn-based game “Empire” • Scrabble • Interpreter for 2 different languages • Simulation of the MIPS architecture pipeline • Distributed programming (client-server across networks).

  11. Personally… • Simple 3D application to demonstrate shadows. • Created using Android 2.2 and OpenGL ES 2.0 • 3D games on mobile very common now.

  12. Thoughts on Java • Very easy! • Lots of libraries make it easy • Great IDEs (Eclipse, NetBeans) • Cross-platform support is great. • Slow though…

  13. In conclusion… • Programming is mainly a tool to solve problems. • Object-Oriented Programming and Java are just one of those tools. • Learn as many tools as you can!

  14. Next lecture • Refresh of Java • OOP, classes, objects • Remember: No discussion tomorrow • But have your CISE accounts ready
