Everything You Need Before The Semester Begins

The course takes into account several assumptions:
  1. That you understand the concept behind programming.
  2. That you have a fully working Java development environment.

If any of these assumptions do not apply to you, make sure to prepare it. To help you, we have prepared several documents that may get you to the starting point.
Please follow the following material and make sure you understand everything and do all the assignments.
