Content
Java is an object-oriented programming language which is very widely used for the development of applications running on the Internet, and in particular electronic commerce applications. Java has some unique features such as platform independence and a very rich set of reusable class libraries. This course introduces the core language and the most important core Java packages.

Rules
The final grade is made up of the final exam (40 %), biweekly quizzes (30 %) and some homework assignments (30 %). It is required to submit the solution for homeworks assignments electronically. Late submissions will not be accepted. Homeworks may need to be defended in an oral interview.
Any programs which have to be written will be evaluated based on the following criteria:
- correctness including proper handling of error conditions
- proper use of programming language constructs
- clarity of the program organization and design
- readability of the source code and any output produced
Source code must be accompanied with a README providing an overview of the source files and giving instructions how to build the programs. A suitable Makefile or Maven POM file is required if the build process involves more than a single source file.
For any questions stated on assignment sheets, quiz sheets, exam sheets or during makeups, we by default expect a reasoning for the answer given, unless explicitely stated otherwise.
The policy on makeup quizzes is the following: There won't be any quiz makeups. If you (a) get an official excuse for a quiz from the registrar's office or (b) approach we well in advance of the quiz with a very good reason for not being able to participate (e.g., because you take a GRE computer science subject test at the day of a quiz), then the weight of the final exam will be increased according to the weight of the quiz you got excused for.
