The objective has been to take on complete beginners who may not have had any background in programming or HTML, and teach them Java and JSP using simple, easy-to-understand writing style and examples that relate directly to the corporate programming environment. The courses intentionally avoid dealing with applets / GUI / AWT / Swing throughout, which many beginners tend to find quite intimidating and are not very commonly used in JSP development in industry. The idea is to focus on topics most commonly used by the industry. Many Java training programs skip critical topics such as packages, which one must understand before attempting to learn JSP. Javaonline.org's courses deal with all Java topics that are required to learn JSP as used in the industry. For each topic, the courses describe why that topic is useful and how it relates to the previous topic, so the topics progress in a logical way and the reader is not lost in "reference book"- type content. The author has worked in US industry as a JSP developer and also as adjunct faculty in the University of Maryland system for several years, so the courses have a "corporate touch", and at the same time, include several hands-on solved exercises, assignments to submit, multiple-choice quizzes and final exams, that are typical of courses offered by universities and colleges. |
