This site represents work that I have done in support of my efforts to learn to program in the CS1 course at SUNY Oswego during the Fall 2019 semester. The materials will be temporally organized for the most part. Links to external sites that pertain to computer programming, problem solving, Java, Web development, and related matters will be placed after the personally created artifacts.
Lab1 "Hello World! Hello You!" A first set of programming examples and exercises designed to establish a framework for learning to program. HelloWorld code + HelloWorld demo | HelloYou code + HelloYou demo
Lab2 "Hello Painter! Hello Composer!" A first set of programming examples and exercises designed to establish a framework for learning to program. BlueDot code + BlueDot demo | Dorothy code + Dorothy demo | BasicsListener code + BasicsListener demo | Melody code + Melody demo | Target code + Target demo
Programming Assignment 1: Microworld Problem Solving" Programs to create images in the Nonrepresentational Painting World (NPW) and sonic sequences the Modular Melody World (MMW).

Lab3 "Establishing a CS1 Work Site" Setting up a Web site to house programs and demos and a few miscellaneous links.
Lab4 "Expressions and Shapes World Problem Solving" Opportunities to explore the computational solution to simple geometrical problems by means of the construction and use of basic shapes. ExpressionsThing code + ExpressionsThing demo | ShapesThing code + ShapesThing demo
Lab5 "An Interpreter Featuring Loop Forever and Selection" This lab requests the coder to write a sequence of interpreters. Interpreters are programs that recognize and respond to commands. The interpreters will display dots of various colors in a window. Input will be obtained through one kind of dialogue box. Output will be displayed by a different type of dialogue box. Interpreter1 code + Input Box demo + BlueDot demo + RedDot demo + Error demo | Interpreter2 code + YellowDot demo + GreenDot demo | Interpreter3 code + Help demo + Random demo
