Announcements from Weeks 1 and 2

Welcome to 148!

Thursday 15 January: Code before tutorial?: Several students have asked that any code for tutorial be made available beforehand. This is sometimes a good idea and sometimes not. A goal of this week's tutorial was to get the students to contribute to the code -- not merely to present it as a completed thing. Giving you the code in advance would prevent this.
Wednesday 14 January: ListOfInts code: The code from this week's tutorial is available online. Follow the "examples from class" link on the main page.
Wednesday 14 January: Free Java: The main 148 web page has links to several free Java packages that you can download from the web. The free version of Visual Age has a limit of 100 class files, but this shouldn't pose a problem in csc148. It also has large system requirements (including 32 MB of RAM). If you can't meet these, consider using the J.D.K., which works well but has a less fancy interface.
Wednesday 14 January: Lost disk: I have a lost disk belonging to 148 student Kristal Bartram. It can be picked up from my office (SF 2302c) during office hours.
Tuesday 13 January: New accounts: The second batch of 148 accounts was produced this afternoon. A complete list of all accounts so far is posted on my corkboard.
Friday 9 January: Switching to 108?: If you're thinking about switching from 148 to 108, you may be concerned because the day classes have been quite full. However, there is now lots of space available in the night section, held Tuesday nights.
Friday 9 January: Check it out!: During the term, a series of online homework tasks will be provided to help you learn the course material. The first covers how parameters work in Java, and is available now, by following the "online homework" link on the main page.
Monday 5 January: Assignment 0 is on 2 sheets: Assignment 0, to be handed out in lectures this week, is on 2 separate sheets of paper. The first sheet is green and the second is yellow. If you only have the green sheet, you're missing the end of the handout.
The entire handout will be available on the web shortly, under the 148 Assignments page.
Monday 5 January: To students in tutorial #2: The course Information Sheet, to be handed out in lectures this week (and on the web shortly) tells you which tutorial to attend. Tutorials start this Friday.
Unfortunately, the TA who is teaching tutorial #2 for both the Wed 10:00 and the Wed 1:00 time slot has to be away this week. This week only, students in tutorial #2 should instead attend tutorial #1, held in the lecture hall --- MP 203.
