Overview

Java is becoming more and more popular as a serious application development tool.  Java is object-oriented, is very similar to C++ syntactically, but is much easier to learn and use than C++.  One of the biggest advantages to Java is portability.  Graphical User Interface? No problem! With the Application Window Toolkit, you can develop cool interfaces that run on many platforms.  Java can be used to develop appletts that run in a web browser, or stand-alone applications.  This course introduces  Java to the student with a background in programming.  Knowledge of object-orientation is not required, but helpful.
