| 1. | Computing and programming. Reading: Gries/Gries, Chap. 0, pp. 3–14. | The purpose of this reading is to help you become familiar with some terminology of computer hardware and software, to give you a sense of history of programming, and to give you a brief overview of object-orientation and the programming language Java. You probably are familiar with some of this material already, since you already know a programming language, and it won't take you long to read this chapter. But do read it. |
| 2. | Structural and algorithmic aspects of programming languages. (html) | This short little essay talks about two aspects of a programming language and gives a brief introduction to how object-oriented programming (OO) treats the structural aspect. |
