lectures about "programming methodology"

  I decided to watch lecture videos from the Stanford
  University about ?programming methodology?, which actually
  teach Java.

  I was somewhat surprised that the lectures of the renowned
  Stanford university do not have such a high overall
  quality at all.

  For example, the lecturer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meh
  r*n_S*h*mi, where *=a) wrote on the blackboard

      ?off by one error?,

  but what he meant clearly was an

      ?off-by-one error?.

  . Regarding Java, he explained the import statement as if
  this was required to make a class ?available?, while it does
  nothing more than to provide a simple name for a class
  instead of its fully qualified name. (To make a class
  available, the ?-cp? option of java(c) is used.)

  He also explained that Java programs were linked by creating
  a JAR archive for them. (While in fact the creation of a JAR
  archive is not necessary and the linking [that is, replacing
  symbolic references by their referents] takes place when the
  classes are loaded by the JVM, independently of whether they
  come from class files or JAR files.)

  But I have watched only the first lectures so far.
