CSC 210 Data Structures

Done

Jan 21, 2008

I have archived this class. It was a little trickier using the blog. My blog archive is located here:


There are/will be tons of broken links and weird stuff in the blog archive. Please use the links to the right for programming and homework assignments.

That is all.
thanks... yow, bill

week3day1... lists

Jan 14, 2008

We have some loose ends to tie. Like these:

• Wrap Chapter 7, finally
• Wrap Appendix C, finally
• Wrap Chapter 3 that we started last class
• I'll peek at your homework #2 answers, and we'll discuss it.

Please read chapter 4 on Lists and that's the new stuff that we'll start on.
At the end of lecture, we'll scurry up to the lab (as we are wont to do), so you can show me your stuff... Program #1 stuff.

thanks... yow, bill

PS - Pardon my crappy memory. Did I show you guys the HTML magic to put applets in your web pages? Anyway, here's mine: Prof Bill's RTreeApplet

PPS - Another thing (sigh)... I ask that your javadoc be visible from your school web page. To do this:

1. Use Javadoc comments in your code as explained in the class coding guidelines.
2. Create the Javadoc web pages in NetBeans using the Build/Generate Javadoc menu
3. Copy the Javadoc tree you just generated to your w: drive. NetBeans places your Javadoc folder in the "dist" folder.
4. Place a link to the folder on your web page. I decided to put mine on the same page as my applet, Prof Bill's RTreeApplet.

PPPS - I think that I'll be handing out this nice summary in class: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_data_type

PPPPS - Jeez. Anyway. Should our class have a blog? Check it out and you tell me: http://blogs.northcentralcollege.edu/csc210
 

For our next class Due: Program #1 Please read Chapter 1 SW Design We'll chat more on Lists

This class, we'll:

week2day1... Java schmava

Jan 7, 2008

Due:

• We'll discuss Homework #1 at the beginning of class

Come prepared!

thanks... yow, bill

PS - For you planners out there, enjoy! Yes, it's Prof. Bill's tentative schedule for the entire term: schedule.pdf

Back to school

Jan  2, 2008

Hey, first off, happy new year.

Second, some b'ness:

• Carnegie 113 from 6:30 - 8:20... see you tonight!

• The syllabus over there to the right good to go

• Bring your book

And three things in lecture tonight:

1. I'll outline how the course will work.
2. We'll talk some about recursion, which is Chapter 7 of our text.  Like the recursive photo here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion 
3. We'll move to one of the labs and dip our toes in the Java programming pool.

Bundle up!

thanks... yow, bill

PS - Quote of the Day (QOTD)

"People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on each other, like a wall of mini stones."

- Donald Knuth (at Stanford) (on wikipedia)

For next time... read Chapter 1 and skim Appendix A. If you don't have a Java book, then please get one. Complete the homework #1 handout.
