Fundamental Programming with Java

This is an introduction course of fundamental object-oriented programming with Java 2 Platform. As a programming language, Java is object-oriented, portable, powerful and compact. On the other hand, serving as the core technology of J2EE/J2SE/J2ME, Java is more like a Platform, which is a whole solution from front-end to back-end.

Given this context, we will focus on addressing the learning curve by teaching not only knowledge of Java itself but the approach to learn it as well. You will get a deep understanding of Java object-oriented programming technique based on a global view of the whole Java 2 Platform. And the last but not the least, you will learn how to think as correctly and efficiently as a computer professional.
