Object Oriented
 

• Objects are data and the methods that affect those data.
• Objects can interact with each other.
• More to come on this.

• One of my favorite parts of Java.
• Java significantly simplifies the task of talking between machines.
• In many other languages, you have to use sockets to write byte arrays on one end, then read them back on the other.  This is very tedious and error prone.
• With Java, you can use RMI to talk Java to Java.  This handles the marshalling and unmarshalling, or converting to a byte stream and back again, for you.
• And it can use open protocols, like SOAP and CORBA.
• And yes, if you really want, you can use sockets.
