Daniel Day Lewis stars in one of the greatest period films ever made: There Will Be Blood which explores the corrosive impact of oil money on a small town in the American West at the turn of the century. The allure of untapped, underground reservoirs of "black gold" changed the course of human-ecological development forever--just like the Java 8 API can transform your programming forever.

First look at the Java Application Programming Interface (API) [under construction sp 18]


preparation	This module is the third in our language structures chunk. If you have not digested Chunk 2, Module 1: Simple Methods, pause and do so before attemtping this module.
objectives
time considerations	As a core module in your Java learning, plan to devote about 4 hours to this module. Best to spread that out over two sessions, or so. Don't forget to pause and study your resources!
resources	Java: A Beginner's Guide (6th ed): Methods are covered in Chapter 4, pages 103-124. Stop at "Constructors" which delves into Object-oriented Java which we'll explore soon. Oracle online tutorial on methods provides essential explanations of these core concepts
contents	Core Concept 1: Summary of three method structures Introduction to the GeometricShapes calculator example program Core Concept 2: Writing Type III methods which take input parameters and return values Core Concept 3: Calling Type-III methods Exercise 1: Adding a cylinder volume calculation method Core Concept 4: Writing simple algorithms Exercise 2: Adding your favorite shape computation method Core Concept 5: First look at the Java API Exercise 3: Tinkering with methods on String objects Mini-Project: Building a unit Converter
"submitting"	Code up your mini-project, test it, and comment your code. Please make a note of any outside resources you used for any part of your code by including a link or attribution in your comments. Upload your file to your personal GitHub account. Make an entry in our java submission index, including a link to your file on GitHub.

Computers are great at storing and manipulating structured data--meaning information that is organized in a consistent way. Many great tools exist for sorting through, finding patterns, and presenting structured data. This module explores the process of creating a data schema (structure), Standard text: This module was engineered to be worked through sequentially: from top to bottom gathering data using that schema, processing, and finally analyzing that data in a spreadsheet.
