Programming style This year the tickers will be checking your code for good programming style. We understand that this is a subjective area but would like you to comply with the following guidelines. We will use (with permission) a slight adaption of the BAE Systems Applied Intelligence coding standard. You should comply with everything described on the three-page summary except where we have marked it as optional ('Opt'). If you have any questions then please ask a lecturer or demonstrator during the practical session. Three-page summary of guidelines as annotated code: BAE Java coding standards (summary) Complete document with full explanations and examples: BAE Java coding standards Deadlines You will need to complete one workbook each week. Each workbook has an associated exercise, or ticklet, which is described at the end of the workbook. You will need to complete ticklet 0 (issued with Workbook 0 in the Long Vacation, and available from the course web page) together with ticklets 1 and 2 to gain the Further Java Programming Tick I. You will need to complete ticklets 3, 4 and 5 to receive the Further Java Programming Tick II. There are internal deadlines, enforced by the automated tester, as follows: Ticklet 0, Monday 8th October at 1700 Ticklet 1, Friday 26th October at 1200 Ticklet 2, Friday 2nd November at 1200 Ticklet 3, Friday 9th November at 1200 Ticklet 4, Friday 16th November at 1200 Ticklet 5, Friday 23rd November at 1200 Work which fails the unit tests or is submitted late will not be assessed. Requests for extensions will be considered if received from a Director of Studies. If you are unwell and unable to attend a marking session, we will arrange to mark your work later once you are better; please email [Javascript required] to arrange this as soon as possible, ideally before the session starts. Marking times with a Ticker Times with tickers are available on a separate page. Supervision work There are two recommended supervisions for this course. The exercise sheet is available for students and the solution notes for supervisors. © 2018 Department of Computer Science and Technology, University of Cambridge Information provided by Dr Alastair Beresford
