CSE 160
Lab 1
Wednesday, Feb 4, 2009
Software: Decide where you
will do the BlueJ assignments: the CS Translabs, a SINC site, or your
own PC. If your own PC (which is what I recommend) install the
Java SDK (version 1.5 or higher, from the textbpook CD or from Sun's
website) and BlueJ (latest version, from the textbook CD or from
the BlueJ website). The
TransLab and SINC sites already should have the software installed.
Reading: Get the Objects First
text (preferably the 4th edition) and read chapter 1. Work along
with it using BlueJ.
Lab 1: In the lab on wednesday
morning: Make sure you can run BlueJ in the lab room, and open the
sample chapter
examples. Study the BlueJ Shapes example and Picture example, demonstrated in
class. Using the Picture example
as a start, add to it a Donut class
that has a draw() method, which generates a picture that looks like a
green donut on a black background.
Show it to the TA and get checked off. (You don't have to hand in
anything this week.)
