Software
We will be programming with the Java programming language in this course (http://java.sun.com/)
There are various Java IDEs that you could use to edit your java programs, compile them and then run them (instead of using the command-line tools and a separate editor). Here are some links, with no intended implications about their usefulness. JCreator and Eclipse will be available in the CSIL labs. In class we will use JCreator.
C:\downloaded\jcrea450_setup.exe
and follow the instructions.
Then follow JCreator Setup Wizard.
If you ever want to uninstall JCreator LE, do not just delete it;
use the "Add/Remove Programs"apt-get install free-java-sdk
Codewrite is a web based tool developed in the University of Auckland, New Zealand, which allows
practice support for Java programming and individual feedback. We will use this tool for both practice exercises
and assignments. We will use this tool directly accessing the
CodeWrite website.
Instructions on how to use this tool including a user id and a password to sign in will be provided
together with the associated assignments.
Your questions and answers about CodeWrite?
See the Q&A MPL and CodeWrite section.
Unless you're using an IDE, you'll need a separate text editor to write your Java programs. Any text editor you like will do. One that has syntax highlighting will be nice, but certainly not required. These are some suggestions.
In case you need to compress files you may use the following. Notice that the submission of assignments through the CourSys system does not require that you compress files, but submissions of different files can be made.
.zip
files to open them.
Instructions are provided for creating
a .zip
file under XP. You may want to transfer files to and from your account at SFU. You should use a secure file transfer (SCP) program for this.
scp
should be available by default on Unix/Linux systems. You may want to access your files from at your H: directories from your CSIL account.
