Wrapup

• I am honored that you spent 10 Wednesday evenings here.  It has been some late nights for you and me.
• We've covered a lot of material this quarter.
• Beginning Java
• Java types
• primitives
• Strings
• Conditionals (if, else if, else)
• Loops (for, while, do while)
• Objects
• Classes
• Object Oriented Programming
• Inheritance
• Abstract Classes
• Interfaces
• Applets
• This is good preparation for what is to come in Java II and Java III.
• I personally feel that we have a top-notch Java Technologies program here at UC CECE/CAS.  We offer many emerging topics that are hot in the industry now.
• In Java II:
• Unified Modeling Language
• Servlets/Java Server Pages (JSP)
• Advanced Windowing Toolkit (GUI)
• Swing (GUI)
• Networking
• Exceptions
• Patterns
• Custom Tags
• In Java III:
• Architecture
• Database Programming and Connectivity (JDBC and SQL)
• Java Beans
• Security
• Enterprise Java Beans (EJB)
• Simple Object Application Protocol (SOAP)
• eXtensible Markup Language (XML)
• There is a lot to cover, and it can get challenging at times, as this class did.  But series will leave you with a well rounded education in Java, and very valuable in today's job market.  Indeed, very few professional programmers have the entire knowledge base listed above.
• If you were to get this same education from a corporate training company, it would probably take at least four weeks and cost about $8,000 (@ $2,000/week).
• I would be delighted to have you in future classes.
• I will be teaching Java II and III this Spring and Java III in the summer.
• My slides will always be on line, as long as I am here.
• All classes are similar in format - slides on line, exams on BlackBoard, etc.  Most other classes have only one exam (midterm) and are more project based.
• Whether I do see you in a future class or not, please do keep in touch.
• Consider me part of your network.  I'll be more than happy to assist in a job search wherever possible - including letters of recommendation, help finding a job, or general advice.
• Also remember the community resources available.
•  Cincinnati Java Users Group , a free users group.  Has a mailing list and meets monthly.  Great networking opportunities.
•  JavaPro A free Java magazine.  Even postage is free.
• Please spend the remainder of class working on the project or asking questions about the final.  Or just go home and get some well deserved rest.
• And, most of all, have a great Spring Break!!!
