In this 24-hour course, students build on their C++ programming knowledge, and learn tools used to produce "Real World" C++ programs. Using Microsoft Visual C++, features like Graphical User Interface (GUI), event driven programming, writing programs for Microsoft Windows and writing DLLs in C++ and using them with Visual Basic will be covered. An introduction to the public-domain Standard Template Libraries and learning about the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) will also be addressed. Note: Windows 95 and writing 32-bit applications packages will be needed to do the programming assignments. A practice lab is available for student use. Prerequisite: Beginning Windows 95 (5305) and Beginning Programming in C++ (5061).

Visual Basic is the programming language at the heart of most Windows applications. Design your own programs with click-and-drop menus, graphics, push buttons, dialog boxes and all the other features that make Windows software so easy to use. There will be in-class and take-home exercises every week, in which you will learn how to: plan and document your program, design a User Interface (menus, push buttons, dialog boxes, screen) use Visual Basic command code to make decisions and run loops, respond to a user’s mouse click, create a system of interlinking programs, and keep track of data. This 24-hour course is designed both for beginning programmers and experienced programmers. Students will proceed at their own pace through exercises. Prerequisite: Beginning Windows 95 (5305) and a basic understanding of computer programming.

In this 24-hour class, you will use Microsoft’s Visual J++ to produce Java "applets" and integrate them into HTML Web pages to make the pages dynamic and interactive. Java is an object-oriented programming language, modeled after C++. You will get an introduction to the Java source code underlying your applets, and to Java-related topics. However, this is not a course in programming and is suitable for non-programmers. A practice lab with Visual J++ is available. Prerequisite: Creating a Home Page (5455/5155).

This 24-hour course will teach you the fundamental concepts of computer programming using Java. You will be introduced to a variety of tools including Java, Microsof’s Visual J++ and the Java Development Kit (JDK). You will create variables, data types, operators, methods, flow of control and error handling. JavaÆs fully-featured Object-Oriented language will be a topic of discussion. One common use of Java is to program web applets so all assignments in the course can be written as web applets or as non-visual applications. A practice lab is available for student use. Note: This course is suitable for non-programmers who want to learn programming with Java. Prerequisite: Beginning Windows 95 (5305). Recommended: Developing Web Pages Using Java (5457).
