You should receive mail from me individually giving your username/password. Let me know if there is any problem with your account. The JDK resources should already be in your path. So if you have created a .java file you can just compile it by: javac filename.java Also if you look on the Java part of the course web pages, you will see that I have added links to material for the second half of the Java part of the course (meetings 3 and 4). The direct link to this page is: http://actor.cs.vt.edu/~kafura/JavaCourse.html Here is a brief summary of our upcoming topics. Material for Third Java Meeting Threads Network Programming using Sockets JavaBeans: A collection of technologies for distributed programming Remote Method Invocation Reflection Mapping to an Interface Definition Langugage Material for Fourth Java Meeting Internet Foundation Classes JDBC: Java access to databases JavaScript On the web pages you will find pointers to a number of documents on each of these topics (in postscript form) that you can download and print/view. Let me know if there are other topics that you would like to talk about in your last two meetings. ....dennis Dr. Dennis Kafura kafura@cs.vt.edu(email) Department of Computer Science 540.231.5568 (office) Virginia Tech 540.231.6931 (department) Blacksburg, VA 24061-0106 540.231.6075 (Fax) From daphne.cs.vt.edu Mon Oct 7 11:07:20 1996 Return-Path: Received: from vtopus.cs.vt.edu by daphne.cs.vt.edu (NX5.67e/NX3.0S) id AA24694; Mon, 7 Oct 96 11:07:20 -0400 Received: by vtopus.cs.vt.edu (5.65/DEC-Ultrix/4.3) id AA23899; Mon, 7 Oct 1996 10:59:18 -0400 Received: (from william@localhost) by sable.cc.vt.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id KAA25890 for jwww@vtopus.cs.vt.edu; Mon, 7 Oct 1996 10:59:18 -0400 Received: (from mailadm@localhost) by sable.cc.vt.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) id NAA14870 for william@sable.cc.vt.edu; Sat, 5 Oct 1996 13:58:03 -0400 Received: from virginia.edu (mars.itc.Virginia.EDU [128.143.2.9]) by sable.cc.vt.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id NAA16220 for ; Sat, 5 Oct 1996 13:58:02 -0400 Resent-Message-Id: <199610051758.NAA16220@sable.cc.vt.edu> Message-Id: <199610051758.NAA16220@sable.cc.vt.edu> Resent-From: UVa postmaster account Resent-Date: Sat, 5 Oct 1996 13:57:54 EDT X-Mailer: Mail User's Shell (7.2.5 10/14/92) Resent-To: postmaster@vt.edu Date: Sat, 5 Oct 96 2:13:53 EDT From: "virginia.edu MMDF Mailer" Sender: william@vt.edu Subject: Failed mail (msg.ab23472) To: Postmaster@virginia.edu After 8 days (180 hours), your message could not be fully delivered.

You can probably provide some feedback that is valuable and unique. I hate forms/surveys and regularly trash them when they come to me so I dont have much moral high ground to stand on to ask you to take a "few minutes" to edit this message and return it to me. I will collect them and forward them to the person conducting the survey. Thanks for any help you can provide. This form was intended to be answered on mark-sense forms so it is not set up particularly well for answering via electronic means. I would suggest the following: a. be sure to leave the question # and the questions if you want b. delete all but the right answer For example on question 1 (see below) here is how you might show an answer: > Demographics > 1.
