(The revisions are identical or unavailable.)
This is an introductory course in Java programming. In this course you will find an overview of basic programming skills in the Java language. Object-oriented programming will be touched upon, but the purpose of this course is not to teach it. Instead, we will focus on traditional procedural programming under Java as a segway into programing for non-programmers.

You will need the Java SDK (Software Development Kit) available here: http://java.sun.com/, and the Jext source code editor available here: http://www.jext.org/.

The class is taught over the course of four days, and will be split up thusly:
