  1. COMP 14Introduction to Programming Mr. Joshua Stough January 12, 2005 Monday/Wednesday 11:00-12:15 Peabody Hall 218

  2. About COMP 14 • Learn how to develop algorithms • Learn the basic components of computer programming • can be applied to any programming language (Java, C++, etc.) • Is COMP 14 right for you? • Requirements / prerequisites • no programming knowledge assumed • Math, algebra

  3. Is COMP 14 Right for You? • Do you have web programming experience with Java, perl, php? • Experience with “classes” in C++? • Some experience with Matlab, Mathematica? • Do you know what is meant by Object, method, member variable, recursion, array, sorting algorithms? • If yes to any, you may be ready for COMP114 instead.

  4. About Me • UNC grad student, 4th year • undergrad: Carleton College (MN) • hometown: Wichita, Kansas • Research interests: image analysis, radiation treatment planning, image segmentation • Other interests • sports I play/watch- Ultimate/all others • Blues, jazz • http://www.cs.unc.edu/~stough/

  5. By Class freshman - 19% sophomore - 11% junior - 33% senior - 36% Common Majors PSY, BIO, ENGL, JOMC About You • Introductions • email, phone number, major, class, etc.

  6. Course Web Page • UNC Blackboard System • http://blackboard.unc.edu • http://www.cs.unc.edu/~stough/teaching/COMP14-S05/comp14.html • Staff Information • Course Documents • Assignments • Checking Grades

  7. Weekly Schedule • Lecture • Monday/Wednesday, 11:00AM-12:15PM • Friday, 11:00-11:50AM • Peabody Hall 218 • You must attend the above recitation.

  8. Lecture Format • Review previous material • questions • Present new material • In-class exercises • work in groups • Lecture notes are posted, but may be modified shortly after lecture. • Notebook computers closed please.

  9. What’s A Recitation? • Mini-lab led by me • extra programming practice • I can answer questions from lecture • You will work in groups • Each group should always have a laptop and textbook • No new material will be covered

  10. Textbook Required Java Programming: From Problem Analysis to Program Design D. Malik, P. Nair ISBN: 0-619-06497-8 Lightly Recommended Java Programming: Lab Manual Judy Scholl ISBN: 0-619-15982-0

  11. Software • jGRASP • on public lab machines • All Programs / UNC Courseware / COMP 14 • you can install on your machine • see “Course Documents” on web • this Friday's recitation • We’ll do a tour later...

  12. Computer Labs • 8 Labs • Maintained by UNC ITS • Locations, schedules, and a map on course web site • You may do homework there (jGRASP is installed on all UNC lab machines)

  13. COMP 14 Map

  14. Grades • assignments 65% • both programs and book • midterm 15% • final 20-30% • If the final is an improvement over the midterm, it may count more. • total 100%

  15. Assignments • Please submit both paper AND electronic copies by 11:59PM on the due date. • turn in using Blackboard, box for COMP 14-002 on Sitterson 0th floor near elevator • Homework assignments from textbook • practice for exams • Programming assignments • budget 10-12 hours per program • design, code, debugging • start early!

  16. Submitting Assignments • All assignments will be submitted through Blackboard • All assignments must include the honor code pledge • I need signed pledge on paper before Assn 0 due. • Make it the first thing you put onto any assignment. • Submission Errors • I will email you and give a deadline for re-submitting • don't change your assignment (not even if you need to add the honor code pledge) • not checking your email is not an excuse for missing the deadline

  17. Late Policy • Late assignments are not accepted • Exceptions will be made as necessary "I started late and something came up" is not an acceptable excuse

  18. Working in the Lab • Before you open jGRASP and start coding (and asking for help): • read the assignment • think about what the assignment is asking for • review lectures and examples on the topic • write (yes, on paper) your plan for completing the assignment (i.e., your algorithm) • talk to/email me if you’re having trouble at this point

  19. Campus File SystemAndrew File System (AFS) • Disk space associated with your Onyen • automatically backed up by UNC • AFS in the lab • automatically appears as drive H: when you log in • On your personal machine • you can install the AFS Client • won’t see drive H: unless you’re connected to the network (i.e., can access the Internet) • More information • see External Links on the course Blackboard site

  20. Backup Your Work! • Backup your work! • You will lose something at some point • you might have to learn the hard way • Use your AFS space • use of AFS space is not required, but is recommended • Search for “backup” in the Windows help

  21. Help! • For help on general computer problems, including getting AFS enabled on your laptop or at home • Also, for free software http://help.unc.edu 962-HELP

  22. Collaborating • Don’t cheat! • You can • talk to each other about the lecture topics • talk about assignment requirements • work in groups during recitation on recitation assignments only • You should • do your own assignments -- design and code • You should never • talk to each other about assignment solutions • share code -- it is easy to detect and we will prosecute • Pledge Form

  23. Sending Email to me • Put COMP 14 in subject line • For example: • COMP 14, I’m lost • COMP 14, This course is too easy

  24. Homework 0 • Introduction to Blackboard • 10 points • instructions online under “Assignments” • Due Monday (Jan 17) at 11:59pm • Write a text document and turn it in using Blackboard

  25. jGRASP Tour

  26. This Week's Recitation • Bring your laptop! • We will install jGRASP • We will write our first Java program • Read Chapter 1 to get in the mood and look at the Quick Review sections for Chapters 1 and 2.

  27. Summary • HW0 ASAP • Download Java SDK from • http://www.cs.unc.edu/~stough/teaching/COMP14-S05/jgrasp.html • Read Chapters 1 and 2 • Be sure your laptop is powered up for Friday

  28. Wednesday • What is Computer Science? • Introduction to Programming • Reading Assignment: Chapters 1 and 2 • Turn in pledge form • bring to recitation Friday OR • turn in at front desk of Sitterson Hall by Monday at 5pm • Homework 0 is due at 11:59 pm
