Course Synopsis: A study in Java language techniques beyond the introductory course. Emphasis will include, GUI and event-driven programming, Database Connectivity, Socket Programming, Remote Method Invocation and Servlets and JSP Technology.

Course Goal: The purpose of this course is to present the concept of GUI programming and JDBC, Socket programming and remote objects, and JSP Technology. Since software components are best learned by implementation, each student will complete a project independently which will involve the design and implementation three software components.
