Information for CSE1310
Introduction to Programming

Spring 2019

We will use the NetBeans IDE (Interactive Development Environment) as the primary tool for code development in this class. Your code will need to compile and run under the NetBeans Java SE environment. For Spring 2019, you will need NetBeans 8.2 Java SE which should be the current version for the NetBeans download. The 8.2 version only works with JDK 8 so be sure you have the correct version of the JDK along with Netbeans.

You can access NetBeans at netbeans.org. You should download the IDE to your machine to do your code development.

If you need the Java Platform (JDK) installation with NetBeans then do your installation from the Oracle website to get NetBeans with the JDK for your computer.

Come to class! It's fun!

Link to Canvas at https://uta.instructure.com/
     Use Canvas for submitting homework and
     to view the lecture captures on the Echo360 ALP link and
     to do the in-class questions and quizzes

When Dr. T does code examples in class, these will be put on the web with a link here.
        Java code examples
     This is a link to find copies of the examples Dr. T does in class.
     She will try to keep this updated but remind her if she forgets.

Handy dandy reference for labs

The 1310 TAs (teaching assistants) for all of the 1310 sections will be available to help you during the week. They may hold lab times in the Engineering Research Building (ERB) in a computer lab. If that is set up, then you will be able to come in with you questions and your laptop during ANY TAs lab time for help. The classes will not all have the same assignments but any TA should be able to assist you with our assignments.

NEWS FLASH! Days, times and locations for 1310 lab assistance is listed on the calender at
     http://vlm1.uta.edu/~alex/courses/1310/CSE1310_LabHours.html
     Be sure to check each day before you go to make sure that the lab is staffed at the time you want. Also note that the 1310 TAs may be using different labs on different days so check that as well.

     ALL TAs that are in the labs should be able to assist you with material from CSE 1310. It does not matter which section the TA is assigned to, they are tasked with helping all students. When you go for help, be sure to bring your assignment with you so that the TA can read it to know what your task is. If a TA tells you they cannot help you because you are not in THEIR section, then please report that TA to me immediately because that TA is not doing their job.
     TA contact info is listed at the bottom of the lab page.

References you might eventually need for Java:
     Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 8 Links to all Java SE 8 documentation
     Java Platform, Standard Edition 8, API Specification
     Java Platform, Standard Edition 8 Documentation
    

          Also, you can get started with Javadoc using the Wikipedia article and there is a simple tutorial page at
          https://students.cs.byu.edu/~cs340ta/fall2016/help/javadoctutorial.php . Enough to get you started.
