Java is a simple, scalable object oriented, general purpose programming language with a multitude of uses. With the power to develop everything from simple graphics and web animations, to high-end business applications that program hand-held devices, microwaves, cross platform server applications and more, it s no wonder why Java is on everyone s mind. In this, the second in a series of Java courses offered by VTC, Java expert, Arthur Griffith, uses practical examples to demonstrate Java programming as it applies to the creation and manipulation of graphic objects. The source code is also provided, so the user can follow right along. To begin learning learning today, simply click on one of the lt;bgt;Java 2: Graphicslt;/bgt; lessons.
