Introduction

This document serves two major purposes for me: Firstly, as a tool to aid in the revision of the topic and secondly so that others may benefit from knowledge gained during the twelve weeks of doing this module. This is not a definitive guide to CO320, nor is it the perfect Java tutorial. However, it does serve well in introducing the syntax and general way in which you can do things in Java.

I will try where possible to use language that is accessible to all. If you have programmed before then a lot of this will be fairly easy with minor differences. If you havent then I'll introduce topics gently and gradually get more complex. Note that a lot of the topics are interlinked in some way and that you do need to know about some things before others.
