Programming in Java: Reading Suggestions

The course is based on a Finnish book:

• Arto Wikla: Ohjelmoinnin perusteet Java-kielellä, OtaDATA 2001.

To help foreign students, there will be a cumulative weekly list of pages in book

• Lewis, Loftus: Java Software Solutions: Foundations of Program Design, Addison-Wesley, 1997.

The contents of the book do not match exactly to the contents of the course.

The following has already been studied in the course Introduction to Programming:

• week 13.9: pages: 2-5, 34-36, 44-52, 54-58, 37-43
• week 20.9: 76-82 (only types int, double, boolean), 86, 89-102, 183-186, the tool for reading class Lue.java
• week 27.9: pages 102-106, 194-198, 134-140
• week 4.10: This week is a little problematic: We start using methods in an 'old fashioned' way, which is not covered in the book! Anyhow a 'near match' is 134-140. We also started with classes and objects, pages 121-124, 131-149, 152-155
• week 11.10: (again 121-124, 131-149), 152-155
• week 18.10: 77-78 (char), 125-128 (String), 208-232, 464-470, 473-477
• week 25.10: more about those pages above; using char[]-arrays

1. week, 1.11: pages: 76-78 (all the primitive types), 172-181 (in 173-177 only the IDEA of "representing" different types, not the details)
2. week, 8.11: 181-194 (in 187 the shift operators and bitwise operators are not covered; the same applies also to pages 190-191), 199-202, 470-480
3. week, 15.11: 150-152, 155-159
4. week, 22.11: 285-347, 538-541 (only the idea)
5. week, 29.11: pages: 350-355, 488-498
   This week is problematic because reading and writing named textfiles is not covered in the book! Details of these are not asked in the English examination, though.
6. week, 5.12:
7. week, 13.12:
