If you are potentially interested in taking this course, particularly if you are an undergraduate student, please fill out the following interest form.

This course offers a closer look of some specialized Java topics. The course is suitable to programmers and technical managers and is intended for students who are already familiar with the Java programming language and its environment (for example, through PSU/OCATE course CS510PIJ). Topics covered in the course include: graphics and images, networking and client-server construction, beans use and implementation, jdbc, threads, and event delegation. There is no textbook. Students will be required to consult appropriate on-line material. Assessement will be based on midterm and final exams and a few programming assignments. This course is a followup of CS510PJ, Programming in Java, offered in the fall term.

The student who successfully completes this course should: have a solid understanding of the topics presented in the lectures, be able to apply them to practical situations, and comfortably navigate the large amount of resources available on line.

Ability to program fluently in Java. Good understanding of the AWT. Familiarity with HTML and the Web.

There is no textbook. Class notes are available or will become available on line as the course progresses at http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~antoy/Courses/Advanced/index.html.

There will be midterm and final exams and frequent assignments. Class participation and agreed upon independent projects can be signficant components of the grade.
