Introduction to Unit 1
The purpose of this unit
is to introduce the fundamental concepts of
object-oriented software systems. In addition this unit
helps you install and understand the computer programming
development environment that you will be using in all
later units for this module (the Java Development Kit
(JDK1.3) and Kawa 4.01).
Because it is the first
unit of the module you will encounter a wide range of new
concepts. Maybe, if you have programmed before, the
concept names will not be new, but what the terms mean in
object technology could be quite different. Dealing with
a lot of new concepts before putting them into practice
can be hard, so you may have to revisit this module later
in the course to review the ideas. Certainly you should
discuss them on-line and in tutorial sessions.
Many new concepts that are
relevant to object technology but not vital to the course
(at least not yet) are covered in the extension section
of this unit. If you have time, you should work through
the additional content and activities.
