One Week Course on Advanced Java, August 12-16, at Stanford
Arthur Keller
The Western Institute of Computer Science announces
a week-long course on
ADVANCED JAVA
taught at Stanford University
August 12 -- 16, 1996
by Salil Deshpande (CustomWare)
A Practical Week-long Course for Consultants, Educators, Government
and Industry Scientists and Engineers
This course is taught by Salil Deshpande, a leading lecturer and
practitioner in developing tools for Java.
Java is changing the world. This course assumes that you have heard all
the hype about Java, have browsed some Java web pages, and perhaps played
with some demo applets. It assumes that you are already a programmer, and
understand the basics of object-orientation.
Now it's time to get serious. After a fast-paced presentation of language
features, we look at various "cool" features of Java, like writing applets
(with graphics, sounds, mouse input, etc.), writing stand-alone Java
programs, using the Java debugger, various Java class libraries, Business
GUIs (with buttons, text-fields, lists, scrollbars, frames, etc.), Java
threads and multi-threading, Java I/O, and networking with Java.
Advanced topics like writing client-server and distributed objects based
applications with Java and CORBA, using Java 1.1 Remote Method Invocation
(RMI), and using advanced class libraries are also discussed.
TEXT: Java in a Nutshell and a complete set of course notes.
PREREQUISITES: Familiarity with OO concepts, including knowledge of
at least one object-oriented programming language.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: System architects and developers who have heard the hype
about Java, have browsed the Java web pages, and perhaps even written
simple Java applets.
