JETT handouts

These are the files distributed to our participants at the workshop. You can download them all at once as part of a ZIP file:

We also distributed a booklet (PDF) for the workshop, which contains the workshop schedule, assignment details, and the code.

Kathleen Weaver, a workshop participant from Dallas, has converted these materials into a set of laboratory exercises that could be used by teachers interested in learning or even as a starting point for making student assignments. Her write-up parallel what we did at the workshop, but she has improved on some of our explanation also.

Introduction to OOP

TriangleRobot.java
PolygonRobot.java
MouseFollower.java

To use these, you need the Robots library, which you can download here:

1. Place it into BlueJ's lib/userlib directory.
2. Add it via the Libraries tab in the Preferences... dialog (under the Tool menu)

Canvas.java
Chassis.java
MouseTracker.java
Pen.java
Voice.java

Arrays

I want to warn you: The code for this assignment was not really produced with hope that others (including teachers) would be able to easily understand and modify it.
