Overview of Java Programming
AN EXTRA SESSION HAS BEEN ORGANISED .. PLEASE CONTACT THE AUSWEB96 TEAM
Workshop Abstract
This workshop will introduce the abilities of the Java language and run-time
system to create new interactive Web applications which execute under the
control of standard Web browsers like Netscape. Attendees will see some
examples of Java applets and understand the features available to the end-user.
Some hands-on demonstration will be included.
Half day, Sunday morning, 7 July. Hands on.
About the Workshop
This workshop is intended as an introduction to the Java programming language,
the use of Java applets, and how they operate in conjunction with Java-enabled
Web browsers such as Netscape and HotJava.
A brief overview of the Java language will be presented and mention made
of the various Java development tools. Some very short examples of Java
code will be covered.
The bulk of the workshop will involve demonstrations and hands-on use of
a range of Java applets which will illustrate some of the exciting interactive
uses of applets.
Some previous knowledge of computer programming will be useful but not mandatory.
The workshop will concentrate on the type of applications for which Java
may be used, and how it integrates into the Web environment.
Attendees will be able to appreciate the facilities and range of uses of
the Java langauge and how it can be exploited on the Web.
Who should attend
People who are involved in Web page content design, creation and implementation
where two-way interaction with the end-user is needed. Information retrieval,
electronic commerce, self-paced education, and animation and visualisation
of data are all application areas where Java can be used. Managers of Web
page creation teams will also find this workshop useful.
About the Workshop Presenter
The main presenter, Michael
Rees, has given many courses and workshops on Web Navigation, Web page
creation and scripting. He is currently an Associate Professor in Computing
Science in the School of Information Technology at Bond
University. Michael also participates in Web training and Web application
development with the CRC for Distributed Systems Technology at the University
of Queensland. Other tutors will be drawn from research teams under Michael's
direction who are currently implementing applets in Java.
What to bring
Copies of slides and demonstration exercises will be provided.
