Lesson 1 - 22 Aug 2012 ¶	Topic: Introduction and Getting Started

If you are on the wait list you will be admitted to the class. Anyone enrolled or on the wait list who does not show (or otherwise make contact with me) for the first class may be "bumped" for someone who wants to add the class and showed up for the first class session. Thinking in Java is the primary text book for the first half of the class. All other reading listed is supplemental. Reading is preparation for the week's lecture. Please read the Preface, Introduction and Introduction to Objects for the first class meeting. Please note - in the JDK installation reading and video, the URL to download the JDK from is now http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html , the slides from the lecture do have the new URL. Due to the techinical difficulties with the CCCConfer system, the video recording was not saved. Please refer to last semester's video for the content.
