CS139 Schedule

The schedule below represents my current best estimate concerning due dates (and everything else). I am providing this information to give you a general idea of the pace and timing of the class. This schedule will certainly change as the semester progresses.

Readings should be completed before class on the day they are listed. Readings followed by (s) are supplemental. You are not required to complete the supplemental readings, but you may find them useful.

Unless otherwise noted, all readings below are from Starting Out With Java, 6th edition, by Tony Gaddis.
