---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This archive contains the Web site for a course in Introductory Programming
using Java which was offered in the Fall term of 2001 at Hobart and William
Smith Colleges.  The material in includes:

    -- index.html, the main Web page for the course.

    -- The Web pages for the fourteen weekly labs.  These are linked to the
       index.html page and can be found in the lab directories inside the
       directory named f01.
    
    -- Files from our file server.  This includes the directories that
       were provided to students as a starting point for each lab.  Students
       would copy these folders into their own computer accounts at the
       beginning of each lab.  Also included are a few additional programming
       examples.  This material can be found in the directory named
       server_folders inside the directory named f01.  (Note that much of
       this material duplicates stuff that is also found in the Web
       directories for the labs.)
       
    -- Quizzes and tests (with answers) and programming assignments
       (without answers) from the course.
       
Note that the programming for the course was done under the Linux operating
system using a standard Java Development Kit version 1.1.  Programs were
written using plain text editors and compiled and run from the command line.
The textbook for the course was the on-line Introductory Programming book
at http://math.hws.edu/javanotes.  Input for command line programs was
done using a class named TextIO.  The source code file, TextIO.java, is
included in this archive in the f01 directory.
