The following information specifies the course material required for CS100.

Required Text
Java Software Solutions:  Foundations of Program Design (2ed), John Lewis and William Loftus, Addison-Wesley, 2000.
We recommend that you also investigate the authors' website.

Optional Text
Getting Started with MATLAB 5, by Rudra Pratap, Oxford-University Press, 1999.
Also, JavaLive (below)

Reserve Reading
The Engineering Library (Carpenter) maintains a number of books on reserve, including the required and optional textbooks.

Software
CS100 officially uses the following software for PCs and Macs:

Java: A majority of the programming required by CS100 uses the Java programming language.

MATLAB 5: CS100 briefly introduces MATLAB, a high level software package used numerical analysis.

CodeWarrior Pro 5: CS100 officially supports CodeWarrior (CW) from MetroWerks. CW provides a robust programming environment.

JavaLive: You can find additional help with this optional program. JavaLive provides multimedia instruction for learning Java.

No personal files may be left on CIT's public machines.

CIT frequently cleans out files on the public machines.

REMEMBER: Back up your programs to protect yourself in case something is lost, e.g., the night before the due date.

Zip Disks
Most labs have Zip drives, but the instructors' machines don't.

Internet
You will need to access this website.
You will need to access the CS100 Course newsgroup: cornell.class.cs100.
Review the CS100 Email/Newsgroup Guidelines before posting messages.

Handouts
We will distribute handouts in lecture and usually post them on this website. Extras, if any, will be at Carpenter. Refer also to the Examples link.

Statements for CS100: HTML
Programming Style Guide: HTML | PS  |  PDF
Academic Integrity: HTML
Keyboard Characters: GIF

Java
We recommend that you use official software. If you choose to use alternatives, you are on own, and you run the risk of creating code unrecognizable to the graders. However, we recognize that you may wish to try different development environments.  We only provide the following links for helping you find these alternatives:

JDK: See Lewis&Loftus or download directly from Sun.

J++: Check out the following guide written by Neil McQuarrie.

• Help

You should read and understand the Guide to Using CodeWarrior: HTML | PS  | PDF
Refer also to the Metrowerks and CodeWarriorU websites.
 
• Public Labs

Cornell Information Technologies (CIT) provides MetroWerks CodeWarrioror for PCs and Macs in public labs.
 
• Your own computer
• Where do you buy CW?

You may purchase copies of CodeWarrior for personal machines at a substantial educational discount from the Campus Store, MetroWerks, and other software outlets.
• How do you install CW?

Select one of the following links:
Installing CodeWarrior Java on a Macintosh
Installing CodeWarrior Java on a PC
• CUCS Stationery

Java Stationery (yes, it's spelled with an "e") provides a template on which you can program. CS100 provides customized stationery called Cornell University Computer Science (CUCS) stationery. The public machines already have CUCS installed. If you use your own machine, you need to download the CUCS stationery.

If you followed the steps above in installing CW, you would have downloaded the necessary files. If you didn't, the links below have the necessary files:
 

• File to download for the PC
• File to download for the Mac
• FTP site for these files


Read and follow the README files which give directions on storing the two projects into your CodeWarrior IDE (Interactive Development Environment) so you can use this stationery. If you wish to download and use specific CUCS Stationery, you can download the following files:

• TokenReader.java
• Format.java
• CUCSGraphicsApplication.java


Please note: Downloading the individual files does not install CUCS Stationery in CodeWarrior.

MATLAB
To access MATLAB, please note the following:

• The CS100 instructors will give you a user name and password which are identical for all students in the class.
• Do not give this password to others.
• If you forget the password, you must see a CS100 instructor.
• You can purchase a personal copy of the The Student Edition of MATLAB at the Campus Store or other bookstores.

• CS100 MATLAB Summary
• Solving Systems of Equations
