Understanding the Building Blocks of Java Technology
The Understanding the Building Blocks of Java Technology course provides you with the basic syntax for creating variables and objects, identifies keywords and data types used in the Java programming language, covers the essentials for working with arrays, describes the main parts for defining a class, and introduces interfaces. In addition, this course uses a new learning tool, called the ObjectTool (patent pending), specifically created to help you more readily understand object-oriented concepts.
This course requires a JavaScript enabled browser and the Java runtime environment 1.4 or the latest version.
