This book is for novices If you have never done any programming
before - if you are a complete novice - this book is for you. This
book assumes no prior knowledge of programming. It starts from
scratch. It is written in a simple, direct style for maximum
clarity. It is aimed at first level students at universities and
colleges, but it is also suitable for novices studying alone. The
approach of this book We explain how to use objects early in this
book. Our approach is to start with the ideas of variables,
assignment and methods, then introduce the use of objects created
from library classes. Next we explain how to use control structures
for selection and looping. Then comes the treatment of how to write
your own classes. We wanted to make sure that the fun element of
programming was paramount, so we use graphics right from the start.
We think graphics is fun, interesting and clearly demonstrates all
the important principles of programming. But we haven't ignored
programs that input and output text - they are also included. The
programs we present use many of the features of a graphical user
interfaces (GUIs), such as buttons, scroll bars and text boxes. But
we also explain how to write console programs in Java. We introduce
new ideas carefully one-at-a-time, rather than all at once. So, for
example, there is a single chapter on writing methods. We introduce
simple ideas early and more sophisticated ideas later on.
If you are new to computer programming then this book is for you!
Starting from scratch, it assumes no prior knowledge of programming
and is written in a simple, direct style for maximum clarity. C#
('C Sharp') is an object-oriented, network-enabled programming
language, developed expressly for Microsoft's .Net platform. C#
provides the features that are the most important to programmers:
object-orientation, graphics, GUI components, multimedia,
internet-based client/server networking and distributed computing.
'C# for Students' explains key programming concepts and the central
ideas of object oriented programming, using C# as the vehicle
language.

Compound semiconductors have long been an integral part of everyday
life. Recent progress on their potential as emitters, sensing
devices in biological and chemical environments, and
high-efficiency power devices demonstrates their impact on energy
and environment. Compound-semiconductor-based photovoltaic systems
are emerging as an economical means of generating renewable energy
through the use of concentrator technologies. However, while
solid-state lighting devices have shown energy-saving and
environmental benefits, much still needs to be done to realize
their full potential. This book contains reports from
internationally known experts on the state of
compound-semiconductor-based devices with application in
environmental conservation and energy saving challenges. Topics
include: compound semiconductors for PV applications; compound
semiconductors for lighting; compound semiconductors for lighting,
power and sensing; compound semiconductors for energy; compound
semiconductors for sensing; and materials growth and
characterization. An appendix, with select papers from Symposium S,
Materials in Photocatalysis and Photochemistry for Environmental
Applications and H2 Generation, is also included in the book.
Symposium D, 'Compound Semiconductors for Energy Applications and
Environmental Sustainability', was held at the 2011 MRS Spring
Meeting April 25-29 in San Francisco, California. Compound
semiconductors have long been an integral part of everyday life.
Many of these semiconductors exhibit direct band gaps that are
tailorable over a wide range of energy. This property can be
leveraged for many energy-related applications such as efficient
lighting, high-efficiency solar cells and efficient switching.
Recent progress on their potential as emitters, sensing devices in
biological and chemical environments, and high-efficiency power
devices demonstrates their impact on conservation of energy and
environment and on mitigation of climate change. This volume
contains reports from internationally-known experts on the state of
compound semiconductor-based devices with applications to
environmental conservation and energy use reduction, challenges
associated with realization of such devices and obstacles to their
widespread use.

Passport to Academic Presentations Oral presentations have become
an increasingly important feature of Higher Education; developing
abilities in this area can be crucial for students' academic
success. Passport to Academic Presentations aims to demystify the
entire oral presentation process by examining each of the different
stages in turn. No prior knowledge is assumed, and students are
gradually introduced to a set of core language and skills, allowing
them to tackle oral presentations in an academic context with
increased confidence and fluency. A key feature of the course is
its focus on transferability; students are encouraged to apply the
material to their own specific subject areas throughout. Each unit
also contains advice on pronunciation and tips for improving oral
presentation delivery. The Student's Book comes with a free audio
CD. Videos of the presentations and interactive exercises are also
available free online at www.garneteducation.com/passport-video.
Key Features * Audio CDs for further self-study and listening
practice * Tips for successful presentations * Step-by-step
coverage of the oral presentation process * Focus on key language
and pronunciation areas * Online material includes extended
learning through filmed presentations and interactive exercises
