Information for CSE1325
Object-Oriented Programming with Java

This page will be one of the two primary places for documents for this class. Some documents will be posted here and some will be on Blackboard. You should make a habit of regularly checking both sites during the semester. Dr. T does not hand out much paper in class any more but feel free to print material you find on this website.

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 7.4 environment.

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

Come to class! It's fun!

Powerpoints from class are here on GUIs and JVM

Here are some notes and old tests to help you study:

Old finals to practice with and their answer keys are all in Word format

Midterm key is here in Word format and web format
Short list of midterm topics in Word format and in HTML
Sample test from a previous semester in Word format and in HTML format
Midterm test #1 from previous semester in Word format and in HTML format
