If you follow these instructions but have trouble getting set up, teaching assistants will be happy to come to your dorm room to help you get your computer set up to use Symantec Cafe in CS101. See the Cafe-on-call for details on how to request this service.
Symantec Cafe is the Java programming environment we will be using in the course. It runs on Windows95, Windows NT, and MacOS version 7.5 or later. We will be using Symantec Cafe, and NOT Symantec Visual Cafe.
Through a special arrangement with Symantec, you will be able to purchase a license for Symantec Cafe at the CEC Help Center for $30. When you pay your $30, you will be given a receipt on which will be printed a URL. To download and install the program, go to that URL, fill out the form, and follow the instructions provided. If you want a CD of Symantec Cafe, then CEC can sell this to you for $40. Of course, if you know someone who took CS101 and isn't using their copy of Symantec Cafe anymore, you may want to buy it from them.)
You are welcome to use a different Java programming environment on your home computer, but the teaching assistants may not be able to help you with questions related to that envronment. In other words, you're on your own! Also, you must be able to demonstrate your labs on the CEC computers during your lab section, so you'll need to make them run in Symantec Cafe as well.
