Week 4 (week of 9/24/12)

This week i got a little behind by spending too much time working on worksheets and the turtle lab. The turtle lab was really difficult for me because I wasn't paying atention to the slide show and lecture on turtles. being behind on the turtle lab, I decided to work on it during the presentation on books. so now I have begun the lab on books but I have no clue what i am supposed to be doing or the syntax to do it.

Week 3 (week of 9/17/12)

This week I mostly caught up on my worksheets. I did do the coding bat labs as well. I felt totally unprepared for them. usually from the PowerPoint I know everything i need for the lab but these were the first labs that I needed the reference material. I guess it's probably just because strings have a bunch more methods than the objects we've worked with so far. Also I thinks strings are a lot less straight forward.

Week 2 (week of 9/10/12)

This week we worked on new java labs. I thought these new labs were realy interesting. It was cool that we could reference different programs that we created ourselves instead of just refrencing a pre-created program. what i didn't like was that we had to uncomment pre-written lines of code in one program. next time I want to learn the code to refference other programs on my own. also i would have preffered to write all the easy stuff into the main programm myself instead of only doing the programming in the refferenced program.

First Blog (week of 9/5/12)

This week we were introduced to java. so far java seems pretty simple. i was a little confused with the difference between number types.  eventually i figured out that double was really just another term for real number. lab 1 was pretty easy i think. i think it was good to do lab 1 because its repetativeness helped me really memorize the syntax that we were using. however i do feel like i am ready to move on to something else that involves for than just input and print statements.
