kpchaitanya / java_distributed_computing

A rigorous study of the core Java programming language followed by an inquiry into Java-based distributed computing. The first part covers classes and inheritance, abstract classes, interfaces, exceptions, threads, packages, events, reflection, and Javadoc. Major features of Java introduced with Java6 are presented, including enums, for-each collection iteration, and annotation. These common tools for Java development are discussed: JUnit, log4j, and Ant. The second half of is devoted to distributed computing, using Remote Method Invocation (RMI) to make remote procedure calls on Java objects on other systems. Google Web Toolkit is briefly surveyed.
