Course Materials

The textbook is pictured on the right.

Here's what you will need, in essence:

an IUB network ID (and an ADS domain account)

a copy of the textbook (available at the IU bookstore)
and possibly a box of floppy disks

If you want to work from home you will need to install your own compiler.

We might be able to assist you with that, but we make no promise. Lecture notes and lab notes will be posted regularly together with reading assignments. We will be checking out the on-line API (from Sun) frequently.

Here's a no frames, and complete

hierarchy

(plus a few extensions) for all packages from the same web site. And the author's web page for the textbook, including the style guide (PDF format). Here's the Java tutorial with a Win32 tutorial section, which should help if you work on a PC. Here also is the author's FAQ for the book, in case you need it. Also, please don't forget to check the What's New? page on a daily basis.
