Background reading for coursework to prepare a technical report as part of the orientation phase. These items are business documents (i.e. grey literature) which might be read as a prelude or complement to finding information in peer reviewed academic publications. grey literature links and articles to be used in preparation of technical report. See also overview guidance document for this assignment http://www.edshare.soton.ac.uk/8017/

In this session we point you at the Java Library, and go into some more details on how Strings work. We also introduce the HashMap class (a very useful type of collection).
In the example code you can see that when the remove(Object o) method is called the Integer is not cast to an int and the matching is done using the object's .equals() method rather than using ==
Process Lecture to identify sources of information, exchange tips and techniques, update the student wiki and contribute to research activities for courseworks (annotated bibliography, poster, information resource)
These lectures are designed to show new students different lecturing styles they will encounter at Southampton University. This lecture is in the style of 'Chalk and Talk'. The lectures also teach students some of the fundamental parts of physics which are relevant to the Physical Chemistry course. This will be particularly useful for students who have forgotten their GCSE physics!

An introductory lecture on Web Science, taking a kind of devils advocate position by suggesting that the Web is a piece of runaway technology that escaped from research labs prematurely.
Takes the Tanenbaum (Structured Computer Organisation) approach to show how application of successive levels of abstraction allow us to understand how computers are made from transitors and how they are programmed.
In this session we look more closely at the way that Java deals with variables, and in particular with the differences between primitives (basic types like int and char) and objects. We also take an initial look at the scoping rules in Java, which dictate the visibility of variables in your program
In this session we look at how to think systematically about a problem and create a solution. We look at the definition and characteristics of an algorithm, and see how through modularisation and decomposition we can then choose a set of methods to create. We also compare this somewhat procedural approach, with the way that design works in Object Oriented Systems,
An introductory 1 hour lecture given in wk2 to x50 year 1 Graphic Arts students at Winchester School of Art. The aims of the lecture are:
1. Explore how to use historical sources appropriately to inform design practice
2. Make connections between contemporary designs and the past
