Intro to Computer Science II

Resources

Tools:

• Jetbrains student page If you didn't get a Jetbrains student account for comp151 you should do so now.
• I recommend managing your jetbrains IDEs through The Jetbrains toolbox It is so much easier to get the one you need and keep them updated.
• If you don't use the toolbox, you will need to get Intellij Idea IDE directly
• You will want to get the Java compiler. Get the Java 11 long term service edition (The new license means that you can only use this for open source and education projects unless you pay oracle money, but if you are a windows or mac user this is all you are likely to be able to use.)
• you will need Git (download link) if you are on windows (Linux and maybe Mac has it already)
• Later on in the semester we'll work with GUIs and we'll need JavaFX. Grab the 11.0.X LTS version.

Learning:

The Javadocs for the Java 11 (current LTS) version of Java

Java for Python Programmers An older book but still useful at the CS2 level.

A youtube video covering similar material to our second lecture

A Really useful video by one of my old grad school classmates that we will use later in the semester to get javafx working with intellij

lecture notes:

The introductory lecture which includes the images for creating projects and putting them on github

The python to java transition slides

The slides on classes and objects

Inheritance and polymorphism

Abstract classes and interfaces

Event Driven programming using GUIs as the example

More on Uising JavaFX

Exceptions and error handling

Data from APIs and viewing that data with JavaFX

Working on projects in teams - especially Git/Hithub/IntelliJ integration

From time to time I put my lecture notes here  for those who find it helpful These are the lecture notes that I use to push the class discussions forward and are not enough all by themselves. .
