1.3 Review of Basic Object-Oriented Concepts  

  • Reading: Hobart and William Smith Colleges: David J. Eck's Introduction to Programming Using Java: “Chapters 1-4” Link: Hobart and William Smith Colleges: David J. Eck's Introduction to Programming Using Java: “Chapters 1-4” (PDF)
     
    Instructions: Please review Chapters 1 through 4.  Start with the quiz at the end of Chapter 1, and use the link provided by the author to check your answers.  If you missed a question, go to that concept in the chapter and review that concept.  Repeat this process for Chapter 2.  If you miss several questions, read all of Chapter 2 and try the quiz again.  Once you feel comfortable with the material in Chapter 2, proceed to Chapter 3.  Repeat this process for Chapters 3 and 4.   
     
    These chapters assume Java is your first programming language.  They are included here so that you might review programming terminology before jumping into the material for this course.  Be sure that you are familiar with all of the concepts in these chapters, especially if it has been a while since you took the pre-requisite programming course.
