This is an introductory course in Java programming. In this course you will find an overview of basic programming skills in the Java language. Object-oriented programming will be touched upon, but the purpose of this course is not to teach it. Instead, we will focus on traditional procedural programming under Java as a segway into programing for non-programmers.
You will need the Java SDK (Software Development Kit) available here: http://java.sun.com/, and the Jext source code editor available here: http://www.jext.org/.
