Coding Standards

• Coding Standards

Studying

• William J. Rapaport's How to Study: A Brief Guide
• Deliberate Programming: 3 ways to get better, faster

Computer Setup and Using Linux

• A Guide to Linux at IU East
• To get your computer ready for this course, follow the INFO I210 Computer Setup Guide, including "CONNECTING TO MERLIN", except you need Java instead of Python and Sifflet.
• FLOSS Manuals: Introduction to the Command Line
• University of Surrey Unix Tutorial
• IU East Linux Lab Manual
• Aaron Hill's "Making the Switch"

Software

(some of which is recommended)

Java Compiler

• Oracle Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) (download, documentation, etc.). This provides the Java compiler, interpreter, and class libraries. You probably want version 7, but 6 is sufficient for this course.
• OpenJDK is a good alternative, if you're using Linux and your distribution has a package for it. Otherwise, it may be challenging to install.
• Setting the PATH for Java tools: You may need to put the path where javac and java commands are installed, e.g., "C:\Program Files\Java\somewhere\bin" or "/opt/java/somewhere/bin", into your system's PATH variable. See these instructions:
  • Revised How do I set or change the PATH system variable?

Lightweight IDE For Students

• DrJava

Text Editors

• Gedit
• Kate
• Geany
• Leafpad
• Emacs, my favorite text editor, is almost certainly available as a package in your Linux distribution (if you have one), but there's also even a version for Microsoft Windows
• Vim/Vi
• TextWrangler for Macintosh
• Notepad++ is a good text editor for Windows

Java Programming Language

Tutorials

• Oracle's official The Java Tutorials
• Another Java Tutorial, from java2s.com. Terse, but very comprehensive.
• John Russell's Java Tutorials

General Documentation

• Java Documentation
• Java 6 API specification
• Java 7 API specification
• Java 8 API specification
• New Features in Java 1.5.0
• Java 8 Language Enhancements

Recreation

• Foxtrot
• New York Stock Exchange Switches to Linux
• Cut the Knot

Home Pages
