CPSC 329 Schedule

Reading and class prep exercises are to be done for the class period where they are listed.

Mon	Slides: course introduction

Wed	Class Prep: available on Canvas Slides: software quality, process models

Thu		lab 1 Preliminaries due Mon 9/3

Week 2: 9/3-9/7 Topics: version control; basic program design

Mon	Reading: Version Control with Subversion (version 1.8), chapters 1, 2, and 4 This is a lot of technical material, and it covers the commandline SVN client (we'll primarily be using a plugin for Eclipse instead). What this means: read for the concepts - what is the key terminology, what is Subversion's approach to version control, what are the operations, what is the typical workflow, what are the best practices - rather than the details of commands and syntax. Subversive User Guide This is also rather a lot of technical material, this time about Subversive, one of the Eclipse plugin SVN clients. It will also be less meaningful until you are sitting in front of Eclipse actually using Subversive (which will happen in lab), but it is still worth reading through the "Team support with SVN / Actions" section in particular for the concepts - how the SVN operations import, update, commit, etc and the typical workflow translate into the Subversive interface.

Fri	Reading: chapter 6 and chapter 13 of Introduction to Programming Using Java, D. Eck Read for an understanding of event-driven programming and the fundamental concepts of Swing (chapter 6). Chapter 13 covers more advanced aspects of Swing - it's worth looking through to see what is there, but it is optional material and you don't need to read/learn it as carefully as chapter 6.
