Special Project: Java Resources for Introductory Computer Science Education

该项目支持开发一套在计算机科学的编程入门课程中使用Java的资源。这些资源包括-适用于入门课程的Java标准API子集的定义-一个公共网站，其中包含该子集的手册，以及-一组适用于入门课程的API还将调查和评估用于教授Java的非商业性资源。该项目将通过解决教师在Java当前状态下使用Java时遇到的一些问题，支持和改进Java编程入门课程的教学方法。这将导致更多和更多样化的学生完成入门课程，并能够继续学习计算机科学。

This project supports the development of a set of resources for using Java in the introductory programming course in computer science. The resources include- a definition of a subset of the Java standard APIs appropriate for the introductory course- a public Web site containing a manual for this subset, and- a set of APIs appropriate for the introductory courseThere will also be a survey and evaluation of noncommercial resources for teaching Java.The project will support and enable improved pedagogy in the introductory programming course in Java by solving a number of problems encountered by instructors in using Java in its current state. This will lead to a larger and more diverse group of students completing the introductory course and being able to go on to further study in computer science.
