Welcome to CS
15!


CS15 is one of two introductory computer science courses offered at Brown University. The course introduces students to the field through object-oriented design and programming, using Java. CS15 reinforces concepts with practical exercises in weekly lab sessions and with challenging and engaging programming assignments such as Tetris!

There are no prerequisites and CS15 expects no prior programming experience!

Printing Out Code




When printing out your code to come to hours, rather than using Kate to print out each class one by one, use the handy dandy cs015_print script. To use it: The script saves paper by compacting multiple classes into fewer pages. The environment will thank you!

Common Compiler Errors




As a reminder, if you are running into compiler errors on your assignments, the Online TA page links to the Compiler Errors Explanations page which details possible causes of some of the most common compiler errors. If you come to hours with a compiler error and haven't taken a look at that page, the TA will send you back!
