CS 340 Programming Language Workshop in Java (1 Credit)

  • Office Hrs : TTh, 3-4pm  (or by appointment), 337 RC
  • One and Only Class : April 4, Tue, 3:30-4pm, 337 RC

    • Course Description

    This course is designed as a self-study in Java. You are expected to learn the Java language and solve a set of programming problems assigned to you using it. (You may develop your code using any IDE you like, but you must ensure that it eventually runs using JDK 5). There are no exams. We officially meet only once in a quarter. However,  I will be available in the posted office hours for clarifications and discussions about the programming problems.
