Title
simpleIO: a Java package for novice interactive and graphics programming
Abstract
This paper describes how to incorporate user interactivity and graphics into a first course in computer science. Problems and alternative solutions are discussed. A Java package called simpleIO that we developed is presented. It allows novice programmers to build simple GUI -based programs while maintaining good design principles. The package includes methods for requesting data from the user including integers, reals, string and Booleans. It also supports simple menus, graphics displays and text file handling.
