College Level Computer Science With Java (Unit 6)

Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(44)
We shall explore Computer Science, first building a computer from basic logic chips, then looking at how languages layout data in memory, how Java creates those structures, culminating with a grand project--a Web Server written in Java.

Class experience

Day 1: What is "Intelligence?", Turing Test, Chinese Checkers Code

Day 6: Garbage Collection, Reference Counting, Sockets, Protocols, code
Day 7: Dynamic Garbage Collection, inlining, C, C++, Loader/Verifier, Fast FP vs. IEEE 754, code
Day 8: Register allocation, Cached dispatch tables, Disk latency, JNI, Unix fork(), "Godel, Escher, Bach"
Homework Offered
In the first unit, homework will be light, under an hour per class. Once we begin programming in unit two, that will go up to about two hours of programming homework per class hour. There will be occasional short readings.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
This is a continuation from Unit 5 and the class details are there.
Grades Offered
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Eclipse is an "Integrated Development Environment" which allows the learner to write and run code.
It is a widely used in the software development world.
The learner (or parent) will download Eclipse from the IBM web site and then use it locally on their own computer.
Eclipse may be downloaded freely, with no identifying information required.
The learner is welcome to use a different IDE, although I will not be able to help them with it.
In unit one, there will be no outside sources. In later units, we will be looking at the Java website for reference. We may read short articles on a variety of computer topics. No book is necessary for this course. Most students will want to purchase a good book for reference, however. I will have suggestions.
