ICA-CP: 1/8/09 - Calendar for this and next week

Good morning!

We continue with our Eliza programs today. We will have a brief review of the pseudo-code we reviewed before Christmas break -- which is still on the board.

Here's a brief calendar for this week and next:

1) 1/8/09, Thursday - Work on Eliza program
2) 1/12/09, Monday - Eliza programs are due
3) 1/14/09, Wednesday - Review of Java syntax, array, and datatype concepts for a test
4) 1/16/09, Friday - Review of Java syntax, array, and datatype concepts for a test
5) 1/21/09, Wednesday - Online test of Java command syntax, arrays, and datatypes worth about 200 points.

The Java concepts include: for, while, import, structure of a class with a main method, declaring arrays and variables (with datatypes of int, String, bit, boolean, double, char, and nybble), casting, if and if/else, the concept of blocks, how to name variables and classes, import, =, ==, String library methods including equals, abstract and primitive datatypes, instantiating an object, print, println, end of line and multi-line comments, and perhaps a few others.
