Preliminaries

Admin

• Thursday at 11 am, I will hold a review session. It's an opportunity for you to ask anything (primarily about this class, but if there aren't questions about this class, I'll answer other CS questions).

Upcoming Work

• HW 3 distributed. Due next Tuesday.
  • I will let you choose whether I assign partners or you assign partners.
• Daily lab writeup: http://bit.ly/207writeup
• Reading for Friday:
  • Unit Testing

Extra Credit Opportunities

• Note: Please send a short (one paragraph) reflection on any extra credit activity you attend. And reflect, don't summarize.

Academic

• CS extra Thursday: Adam Arsenault on his work at FSF.
• CS table Friday: The Mythical Man-Month.

Peer Support

• Men's Soccer, Today, 5pm

Miscellaneous

• Second-year students get extra credit for doing the second-year science retreat on Sept. 20.
  • Email will go out today or tomorrow.

Some notes on Git

• Please don't use git add . or anything similar. It pollutes the repo.
• I find it useful to write the shorthand commit: git commit -m "MESSAGE"

Lab: Simple Code Reading (more or less)

Do the lab with the same partner as yesterday.

Reflection

Remember! Always start Eclipse with

    /glimmer/bin/eclipse

For some reason, my Eclipse automatically configured for Java 8 and yours did not. Please reconfigure your Eclipse.

Other Git Notes

• The git commit message is a way to summarize for yourself or your fellow programmers what you just did - You won't remember six months from now (or probably six hours from now)

• Sam's normal model of git

  git pull
  ; work
  git status
  git diff FILENAME
  git add FILENAME
  git commit -m "WHATEVER"
  ; repeat
  git push
  

What did you learn about Java or Eclipse?

• You can have two methods with the same name and different parameter types and the compiler figures out which one mean. "Overloading"

Java looks like C. But it's also different. What are some important differences to keep in mind?

• We have to put a class there, even if we don't seem to need classes.
• The class name needs to match the file name. (In most cases.)
