An example oriented on-line Java tutorial for university students
Pages 52 - 60
Abstract
As the number of Internet users grows exponentially all over the world, Java has become one of the most favored computer languages for Web programming. Java application and Web developers are in high demand. Java courses are offered by almost every university, college, and it even has a presence in high schools. To help students learn Java efficiently, educators have created all kinds of tutorials, short and long courses, white papers, Web help pages, menus, and books. Although there are numerous resources to help students learn Java, we find that there is still at least one important part missing: a set of well organized practical examples that correspond to the kernel elements of Java language. This insufficiency slows down the learning speed and brings frustration to students. In this paper, we present a different Java tutorial which is example oriented instead of explanation oriented. We believe that our tutorial can significantly reduce the above insufficiency.
