Short Course [ Tutorial Contents | Exercises | Download ] The goal of this course is to introduce JavaBeans. Flexible exercises are interwoven with the course text, which allow programmers to tailor the learning process to their particular learning style. This course covers the following main aspects of JavaBeans:
Prerequisites This course assumes that you are familiar with the basics of object-oriented programming, applet creation, AWT, multi-threading, and almost anything else that has been included with Java since the JDK 1.0 release. These course notes, applets, and exercises were developed and tested with the JDK 1.1.2 and Netscape Navigator 3.01 under Windows NT 4.0 and Solaris. Only HotJava (or the JDK's appletviewer) will be able to run the Java 1.1 specific applets. Neither Netscape Navigator 4.0 (within Communicator) nor Internet Explorer supports JavaBeans, yet. Other browsers and earlier versions of Navigator will also have trouble running all the applets. Format and Duration This course consists of cross-linked course notes and flexible exercises that will take about eight hours to complete. Programmers that have experience with serialization and reflective programming may finish sooner, while those for which these concepts are entirely new will want to proceed more slowly. How to Take this Short Course Because people tend to learn in different ways and have different backgrounds, there are many paths designed through the material. You can begin with the Exercises and refer back to the notes, or you can begin with the Course Notes and follow the embedded links to appropriate exercises. It is possible to cover the course content in a depth-first or breadth-first manner. For example, you may want to learn everything about a particular subject before moving on, or you may want to get a broad overview before exploring each subject in depth.
