There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
This workshop will be led by Thomas Cooper. Thomas will walk through three examples of creating complete classes in Java: a coin flip game, a four function calculator, and a Magic 8 Ball game. For each project, teachers will use inheritance to extend the classes. These extensions are great to assign for homework after working through the base examples in class. All participants will get physical objects (coin, calculator, and Magic 8 ball) to use in their classrooms and the book Head First Java by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates. Teachers must have some experience in Java to attend.
