This short course on Java was offered July 30-31, 1998. It was broadcast by National Technology University (NTU) and University of Maryland Instructional Television; copies of the video tape may still be available.
This short course is intended for software engineers and programmers already familiar with writing object oriented C++ code. The course will cover the language in detail, and introduce many of the major class libraries. The 1.1 AWT event model will be covered. The instructor, William Pugh, received a Ph.D. in computer science (with a minor in theater) from Cornell University. In 1991, he received a Presidential Young Investigator and a Packard Fellowship. He is currently an Associate Professor in the computer science department at the University of Maryland, College Park, and is the editor-in-chief of ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems.

Most of the code in the examples here assume Java 1.1. If you don't have a browser that fully supports Java 1.1, you won't have much luck running the Java programs here. Your web browser reports that it using Java version
