W2 Results

W2 applet programming went very well. Everybody did a great job and I consider that at this point you all are familiar with the working environment and the way to develop, test, and post your results. That was the goal of w1 and w2.

Quiz was a different story. It was very simple for the first quiz and the goal was to show that you need to really read and deeply understand (also remember) the main java tools and methods used in every chapter. Good preparation really pays. Since the group is strong – looks like the main grade variance will be on quizzes (and some difficult tasks later).
Also want to remind you that you should daily read your mail and news forum. Excuses that you didn’t read them and missed some important announcement will not be accepted.

One more advice – read Q&A section even if you didn’t post a problem – since most likely someone else did and the solution has been explained – I noticed new questions were appearing on topics explained in Q&A forums.
Some of you are still trying to make the html file name same as your applet – it is not necessary.

Take week 3 very seriously. Despite a very simplistic explanation of the methods and variables in the book – the topic is verrr-ry important. Additionally read the following material on methods: http://www.otherwise.com/Lessons/MethodsCreationAndUse.html
