Academic Integrity

• Easy
• All submitted work must be your own
• You can design discuss in groups, but you MUST
  write and program alone.
• Attribution and understanding.
• The web isn't yours.

Address the computer through a terminal window
11
A Terminal Session

• Log In User name and Password
• A window appears
• Check the prompt
• mikeb_at_styx
• styx is the computer (it might be different...
  timberlake, others)
• mikeb is my username
• is where you type

12
We address the computer using text

• whenever you see a prompt, the computer is
  waiting to be told what to do

13
What is a file?

• Dear John,
• I think we should just be
• friends

Created and Saved in an editor Could be a Java
program
14
Editors like word processors

• Microsoft Word
• Jgrasp
• Eclipse
• xemacs
• any editor can be used
• editors are interchangeable, at any time
• text is IN THE FILE, not in the editor

Lets Have a Great Semester!
