    This program is part of the software suite


    that accompanies the book

    The Elements of Computing Systems


    by Noam Nisan and Shimon Schocken

    This software was developed by Uri Zeira and Oren Cohen at the
    Efi Arazi School of Computer Science at IDC

    Jack IDE Tutorial, www.idc.ac.il/tecs Tutorial Index Slide 1/8


    Background

    The Elements of Computing Systems evolves around


    the construction of a complete computer system,
    done in the framework of a 1- or 2-semester course.
    In the first part of the book/course, we build the
    hardware platform of a simple yet powerful
    computer, called Hack. In the second part, we build
    the computer’s software hierarchy, consisting of an
    assembler, a virtual machine, a simple Java-like
    language called Jack, a compiler for it, and a mini
    operating system, written in Jack.
    The book/course is completely self-contained,
    requiring only programming as a pre-requisite.
    The book’s web site includes some 200 test
    programs, test scripts, and all the software
    tools necessary for doing all the projects.

    Overview
    ƒ Jack programs can be written and compiled in two ways:
    • Using a plain text editor and the supplied compiler (tools/JackCompiler)

    • Using the Jack IDE, which features a Jack-oriented text editor and
    integrated access to the same compiler.

    ƒ Compatabaility:
    • The current version of the Jack IDE runs only on Windows.

    • A Linux version is not yet available.

    ƒ Terms: the Jack IDE is based on a commercial tool called Edit Plus
    (which has nothing to do with us). You can use the Jack IDE freely for
    30 days. If you want to continue to use it, you will be asked to buy a
    license from Edit Plus ($30). This will happen automatically.

    Installation
    ƒ The complete Jack IDE is shipped in a single JACK_IDE_SETUP.msi
    installer file
    ƒ The installer allows you to either install or uninstall the Jack IDE on
    your computer.
    ƒ To install or uninstall, double-click the .msi file and follow the
    instructions.
