The popularity of java is evident as is easily seen by its use in the industry. With products such as Web Logic Server, Apache Tomcat, and the plethora of Java based application, they all have similar features that make them popular.

• Their ease of communicating across the Internet.
• The ability for Java to run on any platform without a recompile.
• The built in ability for Java to handle multi-threading natively within the language.

All these features of Java make it the language of choice for professionals and amateurs alike.

This course will show you via demonstration the ways that java communicates with other processes, the way that you can write multi-threaded applications. After you have done this course you will have an understanding of how every Internet technology works and (with a bit of practice) will be able to write code to duplicate any Internet service.

This course extends on the information that was presented in the Introduction to Java Course, with more theory in the Object Oriented Programming. But is not exclusive to those who have done the early Java Course. We extend into the area of files, sockets and multithreading. We also extend the applet programming and tie the whole course together with an assignment that uses all that we have taught.
