Homeworks

Read the instruction carefully before submitting your homeworks.

Homework 1

Get familiar with the Java development environment.

You do not have to turn in this homework.

Download and install Java2 Standard Edition (JDK1.2)
Download and run the two examples discussed in class (2-1, 2-2)
(Optional) Try the demos included in the J2SE
(Optional) Modify some of the examples and demos, compile and run them.

Homework 2

Due date:

2000/09/26

Retrieve the source of the Blinking Text applet, and Modify the applet in the following aspects:

try different fonts and sizes;
try different coloring schemes;
try different layout and blinking patterns;
try anything else you like.

Set up a home page that contains your modified applet and the source, and include a brief summry of what you have changed in your applet. (Help info.)
Follow the submission instructions.

Homework 3 (Week Three)

Due date:

2000/10/03

Write a simple animation applet modeled after the ScrollingBanner2 or BouncingBall applet.
Requirements:

Use parameters in the applet tag.
Use the drawing methods in the Graphics class.
Use off-screen drawing (double buffering).
Use your imagination to create motion patterns.
Have fun!

Bonus. You will receive a 20% bonus if your animation involves two or more graphical objects of different shapes. This is to encourage you to use the API documentation to learn features in various classes, e.g. Graphics, that are not discussed in our lectures.

No bonus for late submissions.

Set up a home page that contains your applet and the source code, and give a brief description of your applet, including the extra features for the bonus points.
Follow the submission instructions.

Homework 4 (Week Four/Five)

Due date:

2000/10/24

Enhance the animation applet you developed for the previoud homework by adding several GUI controls that will control various aspects of the animation applet. An example of such an applet is the Enhanced Bouncing Ball applet.
In your applet, you must use at least one button and one choice.
Bonus. You will receive a 20% bonus if your applet uses at least three different kinds of GUI controls. In other words, you must use a GUI control other than buttons or choices. Consult the API documentations for the java.awt package. Labels and canvas are not considered as controls here. No bonus for late submissions.
Set up a home page that contains your applet and the source code, and give a brief description of your applet.
Follow the submission instructions.

Topics include component architecture, such as Java Beans and Enterprise Java Beans, GUI components, such as Swing,, database connectivity and object repositories, server application integration using technologies such as servlets, Java Server Pages, JDBC and RMI, security and internationalization.
SE 540 Software Development for Mobile and Embedded Systems
Prerequisites: SE 450 and CSC 416

This course will focus on the unique aspects, tools, and techniques of developing software applications for mobile and embedded systems, such as set-top boxes, hand-held computers, and personal digital assistant (PDA) devices. Topics include embedded operating systems, such as PalmOS, and object-oriented development of embedded applications such as applications using WAP, and applications for PDA's, and smart cards.
SE 552 Concurrent Software Development
Prerequisites: SE 450 and CSC 416

Fundamentals and techniques of developing concurrent object-oriented applications, using a patterns-based approach. Concepts covered include: threads, synchronization and object locking, thread blocking and deadlock, safety and liveness, state-dependent action and concurrency control.
SE 560 Structured Document Interchange and Processing
Prerequisites: SE 450 and CSC 416

Document and data interchange among different applications is an extremely important aspect of software application development. This course will focus on emerging technologies associated with the Extensible Markup Language (XML), such as the Document Object Model (DOM), the Simple API for XML (SAX), the XML Stylesheet Language (XSL) and Transformation Language (XSLT), and XML Schema. Applications of these technologies will be discussed in conjunction with tools and techniques for parsing, transforming, and manipulating documents.
