#Programming Fundamentals 1

This is an introductory Programming module and assumes no prior knowledge of programming.

In this module, we will introduce you to the Java programming language through the Processing Development Environment (PDE) and then IntelliJ.

First, we will work through non-complex problems that will introduce you to the basic constructs of programming languages i.e. Sequence, Selection and Loops. You will also learn to use variables, different data types, manipulate the data, logical operators and methods. This will be done using processing.org

Then, using IntelliJ, we will progress to more complex problems that will briefly introduce you to object-oriented programming and data structures. You will do a deeper dive into both of these areas in the semester 2 module, Programming Fundamentals 2.

Solutions

The solutions for this lab can be found here.

If you require unzipping software, 7zip is a good choice: http://www.7-zip.org/ (or Keka for Mac http://www.kekaosx.com/en/)

After unzipping the solutions, it might be a good idea to copy the three folders to your sketchbook folder. From Processing, you could then use File, followed by Sketchbook to easily open them.
