Course Description

Prerequisites: Knowledge of an Object-oriented programming language and Data Structures.

Java has gained enormous popularity, maybe because of the promise that you can code a program once and run it anywhere. Java is simple, object oriented, distributed, interpreted, robust, secure, architecture neutral, portable, high performance, multithreaded, and dynamic.

Students in this course will be encouraged to write their own programs from the start building on simple examples. They will use the AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit) and the Java class.
