  • Java Ide's One-On-One*
    DR. J VS. THE BIRD: JAVA IDE'S ONE-ON-ONE* Michael Olan Computer Science and Information Systems Richard Stockton College Pomona, NJ 08240 609-652-4587 [email protected] ABSTRACT An important decision facing instructors of introductory programming courses is the choice of supporting software development tools. Usually this involves selecting an integrated development environment (IDE). BlueJ has received widespread adoption for first year courses that use the Java programming language; however, DrJava is emerging as an alternative. This paper features a comparison of the pedagogical approaches used by BlueJ and DrJava as a guideline for selecting the tool best suited to the teaching style used in the introductory course. 1. INTRODUCTION The choice was simple when text editors and the command line were the only tools for developing programs. That changed with the introduction of integrated development environments (IDE's), and campuses nationwide adopted Borland's Turbo Pascal. Languages also have changed. Pascal was designed as a teaching language, but now academic programs use advanced languages designed for professional software engineers. Making these complex languages accessible to beginning students requires a careful selection of the development environment. This discussion will only include Java, currently the dominant language choice for introductory courses. Let us first consider several levels of tool support in the introductory course sequence: 1) Minimal: A text editor and the command line. 2) Simple IDE: Just the basics, no bells and whistles. 3) Professional IDE: Powerful and feature filled. ___________________________________________ * Copyright © 2004 by the Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges.

    The Impact of Different Teaching Approaches and Languages on Student Learning of Introductory Programming Concepts A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Drexel University by Wanda M. Kunkle in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2010 Copyright 2010 Wanda M. Kunkle. All Rights Reserved. ii DEDICATIONS I dedicate this dissertation to the memory of Nathan J. Kunkle the loving father who encouraged me to become the person I was meant to be and the highly respected educator who inspired me to follow in his footsteps. Nathan J. Kunkle (1907 – 1965) iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank my advisor, Robert Allen, and the members of my dissertation committee for their support and guidance in doing the research and writing required to complete this work. I also wish to thank the Computer Science instructors who helped me recruit the students who participated in my research study, as well as the students themselves. Without the students, there would have been no study. I especially wish to thank the friends and family who encouraged me to keep going when I began to falter because I was feeling overwhelmed by the amount of time and effort I needed to put in to complete this dissertation. Some of those friends are on my dissertation committee, so they are getting thanked twice. Finally, a special thanks goes out to my cousin, Durand Kunkle, who regularly called to ask how I was progressing with my dissertation. He has been planning the celebration for some time now. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES

  • Applets, Servlets and JSP
    Java Programming : applets, servlets and JSP. SR03 Dritan Nace A summary of Java Java is a language developed by Sun, which is designed to be object oriented and Simple, robust and secure, independent of hardware architectures and Multitasking. Object oriented and simple : Simpler than C++, transparent memory managment… Robust et secure : Data typing is extremely strict. For applets, it is in principle impossible to access the resources of the host machine. Independant of hardware architectures : The compiler generates a universal code : the « byte-code ». An interpreter which is specific to the host machine, « virtual machine », executes the programs. Multitasking : Java seemingly allows execution of several processes. In reality, a time slot is given to each process on the processor (Multithreaded). J2SE versus J2EE J2SE (standard edition) contains the basic usable components from both the client and server side, – GUI, AWT/Swing for applications (client) or applets. Currently J2SE v1.6 (ou V6) J2EE (enterprise edition), is in a certain sense an extension of SE, designed for server side programming – Servlets, JSP, EJB, etc. • Currently J2EE v1.4 Java and object oriented programming • Classes, and objects – The objects include data and processing for the data. Communication is done via messages (methods). – A class corresponds to an abstract model for object construction. A class is made up of: • attributes (static part) • Methods (dynamic part), which define the behaviour. – Inheritance : the « is a » relationship : a car is a vehicule, – Polymorphism : the same message can be recognised by several objects and entail different behaviour. Portability: JVM The compiler compiles the java source in byte code : javac car.java => car.class Then, java is the name of the program which will interpret the generated byte code.

Chapter 1 Introduction From a developer’s perspective, the APIs for desktop PCs and enterprise systems have been a daunting combination of complexity and confusion. Over the last 10 years, Java™ technology has helped simplify and tame this world for the benefit of everyone. Developers have benefited by seeing their skills become applicable to more systems. Users have benefited from consistent interfaces across different platforms. And systems vendors have benefited by reducing and focusing their R&D investments while attracting more developers. For desktop and enterprise systems, “Write Once, Run Anywhere”™ has been a success. But if the complexities of the desktop and enterprise world seem, well, complex, then the connected device world is even scarier.

Language advocacy is a popular pastime with many programmers, but what many fail to realize is that programming languages are like tools: each is good at some things and next to useless at others. Java, inspired as it was by prior art like C and Smalltalk, sports a solid general-purpose syntax that gets the job done with the minimum of fuss in the majority of cases. Unfortunately, there will always be those areas that, by their very nature, demand something a little more specialized.

  • Introduction to Algorithms in Java
    Algorithms in Java: Shuffling and Random Numbers Algorithms Introduction Itʹs impossible to study programming – or even talk in depth about it – without talking about algorithms. Theyʹre an essential part of programming. Fortunately, all of us – programmers and non‐programmers alike – have experience with algorithms. Every time you give someone driving directions; every time you use a recipe to cook; every time you follow instructions for using a piece of software – all of these activities (and countless others) involve algorithms. So what is an algorithm? Simply put, an algorithm is a set of instructions, intended to solve a specific problem or accomplish a specific, finite goal, in a direct fashion. What Makes an Effective Algorithm? In general, ambiguity doesnʹt make for a good algorithm; this is particularly true in programming, because computers are mostly incapable of knowing what we want them to do, unless we spell it out precisely. So the algorithms we use should also be precise – even before we translate them into a programming language. An effective algorithm usually has the following characteristics: • Clear conditions of application: What task is the algorithm intended to accomplish, and what are the requirements for us to be able to use it? • Initialization steps & starting conditions: What do we do to prepare our data for the algorithm? How can we tell if weʹre ready to proceed? • Explicit stopping conditions and states: How do we know when weʹre done? How do we know whether we met the desired goal? • Unambiguous steps that lead from the starting conditions to the stopping conditions. Note that “unambiguous” is a subjective term.
