Important note on Assignment 3:
· I updated the CS1520Fields table in the example data. The version shown did not have a MaxFieldValue, which is necessary for the percentage calculations. Please look at the new version of this ASAP. Note that this will apply to all similar tables in your DB.

Some of you have asked how a PHP script can open / switch to a different script. This can be done using a "redirect" as follows:
<?php
header("Location: http://the.url.to.open");
exit;
?>
Note: The header function must be called BEFORE any output is generated from your script. However, you can have as much PHP code prior to it as you want, as long as no output (ex: text or html) is produced. Therefore, you can examine POST and/or SESSION variables and then decide to redirect to another page or not.

· Remember that Exam 1 is next Tuesday, June 23 during lecture. Plan accordingly!
· I have put some materials online to help you study for the exam (review sheet, quiz solution, previous exam). Take a look at these on the CS 1520 home page.

· I have put a grading rubric online for Assignment 1 (see the Assignments page). Use this to see how many points various aspects of the assignment are worth. Note that the raw points sum to 150, so that 15 raw points translate to 10 final score points.
· The submission site is now up. Whenever you finish your assignment you can submit it (see submission guidelines on the Assignments page). If you have not used this type of submission site before, make sure you familiarize yourself with it PRIOR to the assignment due date, so you do not have any problems when the deadline nears.

As announced in lecture, the first Quiz will be during recitation on Thursday, June 4. Plan accordingly!

Welcome to CS1520 for the Summer 2009 Term (2097). For the first part of the course we will be using Java. We will concentrate on some advanced Java topics, and will devote little if any time to basic and intermediate Java concepts. Note that it is assumed that all students in this course are already mid-level Java programmers. However, if your Java is rusty, I suggest either obtaining the (optional) Java text (Learning Java by Niemeyer and Knudsen, O'Reilly Publisher) and reading the first 7 chapters or reviewing the Java online documentation (for example, the Java Tutorial). Focus primarily on object-oriented programming concepts and secondarily on graphical components.
