COURSE OVERVIEW
CS302 provides instruction and experience in the use of an object-oriented programming language (currently Java). Emphasis is on program design and development of good programming style. This course is intended to prepare students for other Computer Science courses. Prerequisites include: Problem solving skills such as those acquired in a statistics, logic, or advance high school algebra course; or consent of instructor. CS302 is open to Freshmen.
 
 

Difficulty: CS302 can be a very challenging course.

  • Don't be misled by the course name, Introduction to Programming. Consider CS302 to be like a 300 level math course. The course requires students to have strong problem solving skills and to take considerable time outside of class.
    • Course Work: There are lessons, programming assignments, self-check quizzes, and exams.
  • Lessons are programming and/or written work that focuses on specific concepts.
  • Programming Assignments are comprehensive programming projects that require substantial time and effort.
  • Self-Check Quizzes are written work that are intended to help you prepare for exams.
  • Exams are the primary tool used for evaluating students' performance. There are two midterms and one final exam.
  • Collaboration on assignments is allowed, but collaboration may cause one to do poorly in the class. The lessons and assignments are intended to give students the practice and experience necessary to understand the course material. We expect that all students have done their own work, and we test students'  knowledge of the lessons and the assignments on the exams.

    RESOURCES

  • Main CS302 Web Page: http://www.cs.wisc.ed/~cs302/.


  • Here's a map of the CS Building.


  • Text Book Web Page: http://www.mhhe.com/wu2/.


  • Here is a glossary of terms partially borrowed from another class, but that may be useful for you in 302.


  • Here is a primer on diagramming class, inheritance, and some object and memory diagrams.


  • Here are naming conventions for classes, object references, methods, and class constants.


  • Here is a recently made supplement web page that takes a comparative, complete, and yet top-down approach to writing classes, methods, and data in programs.


  • Here is an incomplete listing of some reserved words in JAVA.


  • This is a breakdown and comparinson of data types. The table can be found in you're text book on page 86.


  • Here is an abridged ASCII table. The table can be found in you're text book on page 357.


  • Here is a table of visibility modifiers that show the progressive levels of protection for classes.


  • Here is a table of operation precedence that you'll get for every exam.


  • Here is a page that describres the 16 different members that a class or an object can have, indicates the keyword used to desginate them as such, and explains how to draw them in class/object diagrams


  • Here is a page that exemplifies operations with differing numeric types and some example problems at the end involving order of precedence rules.


  • Finally! A step-by-step walk through of creating an instantiable class, called From Analysis To Coding. And just to see how it works, heres an example of the whole process, for one of the examples below, the Beverage class.


  • Fun with memory diagrams! Follow the coputation line by line and see how the diagram changes to reflect changes of the objects involved and their references.


  • Here's a slighlty more helpful Input and Output (io) reference page than what either your book or the online notes have. Keep in mind that anything in the online notes are the official reference, but this link here may help to clarify the subject.


  • More on Inheritance for those of you who are lost and are fond of memorization. Everything's spelled out and highlighted in blue.


  • When am I overloading/overriding/generating errors? Look here to find the answer.


  • This is my required Commenting format. There's also a link to a similar commenting guide on the red frame at the left.
