CSC205- Introduction

This is a simple warm-up exercise to make sure that you are familiar with a programming environment
and the process of preparing and delivering a program. Don't get the wrong impression; the rest of your
programs will be more involved. This assignment will also give me a chance to learn more about you,
so that I can customize the course to match your backgrounds.
Write a simple program that displays the following information on the screen.
Your name.
Prior computer science courses, and other related coursework.
Related professional background (anything that involves a computer).
Any other experience with a computer.
A description of the tools you will most likely use for your programming assignments
(including the machine, the operating system, and the Java environment).
What programming languages you have used in the past.
Personal goals for this course (including why you are taking it).
Concerns about this course.
Other classes that you are taking right now.
A brief description of the program that you have written that you liked the best.
At least one subject or topic (other than computer science) of personal interest.
This is not supposed to be a complete resum, and it is not a competition. I will not be grading you for
content, and I will not release the information to anyone else.
Use System.out.print or System.out.println for output to the screen, but observe the following
guidelines to make your program simpler and easier to read (in a small window):
(a) Do not display lines longer than 80 characters: break them up into multiple lines.
(Don't let text just wrap around to the next line.)
(b) Do not allow any statement in your program to run past column 80 on the screen.
(Break that statement into multiple lines in your program.)
(c) Do not display "too many" lines (more than 3 or 4) with any single statement.
(Use more than one call to System.out.println.)
(d) Do not import any libraries.
Turn in a source file named "intro.java". You do not need to turn in anything else.
Turn in the file by Canvas.
