Course Materials

We will be using a variety of texts including Game Programming for Teens, Grebler, Beginning Java Game Programming, Second Edition, Harbour and Photoshop 7.0 Classroom in a Book. For indepth Java we will be using the AP Edition of "Java Concepts, 4th Edition", by Cay Horstmann and using the student companion website: www. wiley.com/college/horstmann. For those students that have already completed Advanced Programming and wish to take the AP test, the balance of this book can prepare the student for the AP Exams.

The Java Tuutorials from Sun Microsystems. These tutorials may assist you in clarifying information covered in the text. The first two lessons cover the basic concepts:

1. What is an Object
2. What is a Class

Understanding Java's Object Oriented Programming (OOP) - adapted from Java for Dummies - is another resource for understand the basics of What is an Object and What is a Class.
