SE450: Expectations [12/41]

The course will be conducted using Java and some of its many APIs. I expect you to be able to work your way through the APIs using Javadoc or a Java reference book. In other words, if you have a question about how to do something with a Java API, I will not be answering API related questions immediately, but rather pointing you to documentation for API related questions.

The course requires that you actively engage the material on your own. You should not only read the example code given in class, but modify and run it. Learn to use the tools talked about in class.

Spend at least a few hours a week just playing with the examples given in class, or your own Java code.

The only way to learn programming is to program. (I know, I know, you've heard that before, but it's true!).
