CS 211 Lab 1 Walk-through
1 Rationale
Sometimes, mother nature is like a giant, radiation spewing lizard which stomps across the region canceling labs and food service it its wake. Such is the case at the moment and many CS 211 students did not get the benefit of their introductory lab. While this is a bummer, it's not the end of the world. Thanks to technology, we can provide a little remote assistance in the form of video walk-throughs. Use the resources linked below to help you get through the first lab.

Installing Java Development Kit 1.8 (JDK 1.8)
If you have not installed the JDK yet, make sure to do so. This may involve adjusting your system path so that you can compile and run from the command line. The following videos give overviews of how to install on major problems. A few of the details might be a bit different.
- JDK 1.8 Downloads (Oracle): Grab a version of the JDK for your platform here. Most recent Windows laptop versions are 64-bit so should select the x64 option.
- Installing the JDK on Windows 10 (YouTube): This should work for the most part for Windows 8, 8.1, and 7 as well
- Install the JDK on OS X (YouTube)
