From Introduction to Java Tutorial Aimed at Scientific Users NAVO Tutorial -- Sept 23 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Java model can be viewed as a C++ subset, with some dynamic elements inherited from Objective-C (method overloading, garbage collection).
2 Structures, Unions and Functions are absorbed into data and methods of Java classes -- Java is Simple!
3 The strength of Java object-oriented model is not is sophistication but in simplicity and the extensive class library associated with the system (some 250 public classes were released in both alpha and beta).
4 Java class plays also a role of a communication atom in the Web embedding model. Applet classes identify themselves by names in the HTML applet tag. Applet downloads other classes, present in the applet source. Hence, the Java class names play the role of addressing mode for the distributed Java code database.
