This introductory course provides a broad introduction to the Java programming language and the related knowledge necessary to program in Java. This includes coverage of the Java Development Kit (JDK), the Java API, creating standalone Java applications, creating Java applets for enhancing Web pages, and an introduction to the Object Model and Object Oriented Programming.

The course is suitable for an audience with a wide range of computer skills. It utilizes numerous problem sets and lab exercises in a very hands on approach. Upon completion of the course, participants will have the necessary experience needed to use Java productively to solve real world problems.
