Introductory Lectures on Java -- An Overview Mixing Code and Comments

Java is an object-oriented language based on C++ suitable for general distributed applications programming. In this course, we will concentrate on Java applets to program application interfaces on the World Wide Web.

These lecture slides on programming in Java will show a series of small programming examples, designed to illustrate the main features of the language.

They accompany the Java Course Module, by Geoffrey Fox, which covers more details about the language.

Some examples were constructed from "Teach yourself Java in 21 days", by Laura Lemay and Charles L. Perkins, February 1996, Sams.net Publishing, and from "core Java", by Gary Cornell and Cay Horstmann, the SunSoft Press Java Series, 1996.
