Java Programming for Beginners

The Java Programming Language course provides students with a solid foundation for programming with Java, including: information about the syntax of the Java programming language; object-oriented programming with the Java programming language; creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs), exceptions, file input/output (I/O), and threads; and networking. Programmers familiar with object-oriented concepts can learn how to develop Java technology applications Java was started as a project called ""Oak"" by James Gosling in 1991. The first public implementation was Java 1.0 in 1995. The pluses to this new language were: -It promised the ability to ""Write Once, Run Anywhere"" (WORA), providing no cost runtimes on popular platforms, and -Its security was configurable, allowing network and file access to be restricted. Java quickly became a popular programming language. Newer versions of the java programming language had multiple configurations built for different platforms. For example, J2EE for enterprise applications and J2ME for mobile applications.
