As needed, section will cover basic orientation to the software we need.
We will have 3 programming projects using Java. The third project will require Java 7, the most recent version of the language. So if installing Java on your own machine (rather than using the department lab machines), then you may as well get Java 7 now from http://jdk7.java.net/.
The course staff will assume you are using the Eclipse IDE, though we will not require this. You can download Eclipse for your own machine from http://eclipse.org/downloads; it is also installed on all the lab machines.
Java's support for generics will be very useful in our projects, but its support for generic arrays requires a few common workarounds. Read this to-the-point description.
Project 3 will use Java's Fork-Join Framework as described in this introductory document.
The textbook is Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in Java, Mark Allen Weiss, 3rd Edition, 2011, ISBN: 0132576279. We will also do our best to support the 2nd Edition, ISBN: 0321370139. The textbook often provides a second explanation for material covered in class and we will likely assign some homework problems from it.
For the parallelism and concurrency material, these reading notes (written by the instructor) cover the same material: A Sophomoric Introduction to Shared-Memory Parallelism and Concurrency (pdf)
A Java reference is also strongly recommended. While there are a variety of sufficient references, we recommend Core Java(TM), Volume I--Fundamentals 8th Edition, Cay S. Horstmann and Gary Cornell, 2007, ISBN: 0132354764. Note this book is also recommended for CSE331.
Here are some interesting, usful, and accessible articles related to the course material. These are optional reading that you may find helpful and enriching.
