Goal This course covers two major topics: Computer Architecture and Event Driven programming using Java (starting with the fundamentals of the Java language). Although no prior knowledge of Java is required it is assumed that OOP concepts (common to C++) are known. Note that more advanced concepts in java are taught in CS441. The CS441 course covers graphics (animations), client/server internet applications of java using JDBC, servlets and Distributed Objects using RMI. No prior knowledge of Java is required. You should register for CS441 next Semester especially if you are interested in client/server concepts using Java.
