Lecture 3, Mon 01/11
Monday Lecture: Discussion of jspa01
A few things from online discussions
Java Bytecodes and JIT compilation
- and their relationship to “machine language” and “assembly language”
- Note that simplistic definitions of “compiled language”, “interpreted language”, etc. don’t really fit.
- It’s a hybrid model
Mutation testing timeouts
- Timeouts don’t affect your grade and are normal
- This is related to the halting problem (a topic of CMPSC 138)
Next Programming Assignment: JavaScript Programming Assignment 1 (jspa01)
Today, we’ll discuss jspa01, the first JavaScript assignment.
Before that, I’ll give you:
- a brief overview of the structure of how JavaScript is used in the legacy code assignments
- the role of Jest, React, and React Testing Library
In Breakout rooms
Some of you may still be “initially” assigned to incorrect breakout rooms; I haven’t yet updated Zoom with section and team changes. I apologize for the inconvenience. I hope that will be fixed by Wednesday.
Today: Have everyone do a check in:
- Name, pronouns (as a reminder)
- How was your first week? A rose and a thorn.
- Where do you stand on jpa00, jpa01, jspa01?
-
What’s your prior experience with Java, JavaScript, React?
This is so that folks on the team know who they can turn to if/when they might need help with things.
Then, if you like, go into individual breakout rooms to ask for help.
If there is additional time, we’ll have a chance for students to work in class on both jpa01 and jspa01, and to ask staff questions.
