These slides are not currently on the CD that accompanies the book,
though they will be added to the CD in an upcoming printing. Consult
the Slide Modification Log to see
what changes have been made to the slides since their original posting.
The files available here for download reflect the changes listed
in the log.
The slides are designed for an online presentation, though they
work well when static versions are printed onto transparencies as
well. Slide handout pages can be made using the PowerPoint software.
The slides make use basic animation effects to bring in new material
in when appropriate. They do not, however, use any sound effects.
The slides follow, but do not simply regurgitate, the textbook material.
The slides are intended to complement the reading of the book. We
believe that the combination of the two create a stronger pedagogical
effect than either alone.
Though some slides still follow the traditional bullet list presentation,
many present the material in a far more graphical, dynamic manner.
References to the textbook examples in
the slides are hyperlinks to the source code files. By clicking
on a link, the appropriate source code is brought up in whatever
default application (editor) you have set up for files with a .java
extension. These hyperlinks allow you to keep both the slides and
the examples readily accessible during a presentation. For the links
to work, the slides and examples should have a particular directory
structure relationship relative to each other.
Instructors using the textbook for class are welcome to modify these
slides for pedagogical purposes as they see fit. Any suggestions
that you think may benefit others are welcome.
The slides are based on the set designed for the second edition
of the book. They have been modified and augmented by Robert
Burton of Brigham Young University to reflect the content of
the third edition. Please see the acknowledgements
page of this web site for a full appreciation of Robert's contributions.
The slides were further modified by the authors -- any errors are
ours.
