PURPOSE
The Java programming language has become the de facto standard as the language to be used for
internet applications. The main purpose of this course is to provide a platform for learning Java and
develop some web based applications.

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES
This course enables the students to
• Understand the need for new language environment for internet applications
• Effectively use the huge library routines while solving problems.
• Handle exceptional situations and to access data on external medium.
• Make use of Java Utilities for Documenting, Debugging your Programs and Packing your Programs into
Modules.
• Understand why certain language features have been left out in Java and the way Java System is
implemented.
