Lecture by Professor Mehran Sahami for the Stanford Computer Science Department (CS106A). Professor Sahami introduces the next assignment "the face pamphlet" and demonstrates how to make the program.

CS106A is an Introduction to the engineering of computer applications emphasizing modern software engineering principles: object-oriented design, decomposition, encapsulation, abstraction, and testing. Uses the Java programming language. Emphasis is on good programming style and the built-in facilities of the Java language.

Java is a good introductory programming language and has a wide user base. It has features like automatic garbage collection (unlike C/C++) and omits 'scary' things like pointers (like C/C++). In the following course (CS106B) they use C++ because it has lots of similarities with Java and also some advanced features on top of that. This doesn't mean one language is better than the other. They all have domains of applications in which they excel. There's no such thing as 1 tool for every job.

He gave a very good introduction to a complicated topic. I think the method of delivery he used was brilliant, this point is very important, because a lot of teachers scare students off when introducing a complex notion.

The circle stuff reminds me off Google+....

Data structures are difficult.
