Homework 1
CSSE 221 – Fundamentals of Software Development Honors
Fall 2009–2010

You can get help on any of these problems during the CSSE lab assistant hours, or bring your questions to class.

Things to do

1. Install DyKnow Vision and DyKnow Notebook Writer by following these instructions.

2. Update your Eclipse preferences for your (update 14) version of Java as follows:
   1. Download this zipped file of Eclipse preferences.
   2. Extract the single EclipsePreferencesForJava1.6.0_14_mutchler.epf file to a place of your choosing. (You may delete the file after completing the rest of these instructions.)
   3. In Eclipse, select   File   ~   Import  
   4. In the Import dialog box, select   General   ~   Preferences   and click Next
   5. Browse for the preferences file, EclipsePreferencesForJava1.6.0_14_mutchler.epf, that you downloaded above. Make sure the Import All radio button is selected, then click Finish.
3. Continue the HelloWorld exercise from Session 1 as far as you are comfortable. Don't get stuck and bring your questions to class.
4. Skim/read Sections 2.1 through 2.7, plus 2.10, of Chapter 2 from Big Java, and bring any questions about it to class:
   • Skim if the material is familiar to you, read it if Java is new to you or you need the refresher.
   • As you reach each Self Check problem at the end of each section, do the Self Check problem (in your head, no need to write anything down) and check your answer versus the answers at the end of the chapter (pp. 79-80).
