The course will be about programming in Java, and un-abashedly aimed at what we're doing with Java in the basement: servlet programming, using CVS, and database access. I'll expect a basic understanding of programming (like what a variable is, and some of the basic algorythms like "loops"), participants will get accounts on a live web server with a servlet engine running on it, and "homework" will be assigned. I'm not the end-all-be-all expert (yeah, I'm teaching this) - so open discussions about how to do things and "what's the right way" are what I expect, with a focus on practical results and the realities of our environment today.

Outline for the course:
I'm hoping this is a realistic class schedule, but don't count on it following this path. If we go faster or slower on some topics, so be it. |
