15-100 Introductory/Intermediate Programming
Instructor: Ananda Gunawardena, Ph.D.

15-100 Introductory/Intermediate Programming
An introduction to the process of program design and analysis using the Java programming language for students who have no prior programming experience. Topics to be covered include basic data types and their operators, I/O, control structures (selection, loops), classes (including methods and fields), files, arrays, and simple sorting and searching algorithms. If you've taken a programming course before and have used functions, loops, and arrays, you should enroll in 15-111 instead of 15-100. Notes: This course replaces the 15111/15112 mini-courses taught in C++ during previous semesters. Students who receive a grade of C or less in 15-100 should discuss whether they are adequately prepared for 15-200 with their academic advisor. 

This course consists of the following components. Course Lectures, Labs, Tests. You can also check your grade using our grade access system. You will receive Email messages from time to time with course updates. Be sure to visit the message page frequently. The course assistant schedule contains information on lab and help session hours. There are many other things that you may find useful during this course. I have included them in the Miscellaneous page. 
From time to time, I will place demo code in here. Feel free to copy them, run them and learn.
