You should read the chapter carefully. You are responsible for all the material in the book, even though I will not cover every detail in class. I suggest that you take the sample quiz and check the answers on the Web. To learn to program, you have to write programs. There are programming exercises at the end of the chapter.
Solutions are available on line.
It would be a good idea to try to work on some of these exercises before you look at my solutions. It's a good idea to look at my solutions whether or not you work on the exercises, since the solutions include some suggestions about how to approach programming problems. The on-line version of the text contains working applets that cannot, of course, be shown in the printout. You will have to go on-line if you want to try out the applets. There will be a quiz in class next Monday, September 10.
