- This is the author's website for the previous edition of our text.
The On-Line TA
- This page from Brown University contains a list of the most common Java compiler errors and their most likely causes. It can be very helpful in interpreting the errors you get when compiling your programs.
-
- A tutorial on just about every aspect of Java from Sun Microsystems, the creators of Java. I will also link directly so some of the sub-sections of the tutorial that apply to what we will be doing in this class. You may want to use these sites as an additional source of information to complement the textbook.
Getting Started:
- Your First Cup of Java (for Unix)
- Your First Cup of Java (for Win32)
- Your First Cup of Java (for Mac)
- Step by step instructions for getting a simple Java program to run on a Unix, Windows or Mac system. This also includes instructions for downloading and setting up a Java compiler on your own machine. If you want to run Java on your own computer go to this page and look at: A Checklist
-
- The complete JavaDoc documentation for the Java Development Kit (JDK) Standard Edition (SE) version 1.3. This documentation provides information about the public interface of all of the classes provided with the JDK SE installation. I will also link directly to some of the classes that we will be using frequently in our assignments.
Unix References
- These pages provide a reference to the Unix commands.
- Unix How-To
- A document created specifically for this class that explains the basic unix commands you will need. A more detailed hands-on approach is taken by the following link, but this one works well as a quick reference.
-
Introduction to Unix
- The course web pages from a class at University of Utah. This gives a nice step by step walk through of how to use Unix. If you follow the section on Files and Directories you will be well prepared for this class.
