17th, 2004 from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. in

Summary of following e-mail:
----------------------------

Details:
---------
The Saturday discussion session will cover 
the following material as previously assigned:
       
Java 2 Fifth Edition Multimedia 
CyberClassroom - Chapter 10
Object-Oriented Programming: Polymorphism

Java 2 Fifth Edition Multimedia 
CyberClassroom - Chapter 11
Strings and Characters
                          
Please be sure to read these chapters before our 
meeting.  It is important for all of us to be 
on the same page of the reading in order to 
make good progress in the discussion session.

Also, let me alert you to the fact that chapter 10
discusses some of the most challenging 
aspects of Java programming and I suggest that 
group participants get an early start in order 
to have the time to get a good grasp of the 
material before the meeting and in order to get 
your questions formulated for discussion at the 
meeting. 

Chapter 11 is more straightforward, but is of 
great value for most everyday programming 
tasks where one deals with textual data.
            
We will devote the afternoon to actually writing 
simple Java programs on their computers 
with the Java software development tools that 
were installed during the recent InstallFest.

If you still haven't gotten the software tools
installed on your computer, please bring your 
computer to the Saturday (July 17th) meeting
and we will get the tools installed for you.
             
In the interest of making progress, there will
be no discussion of previously assigned material
unless absolutely necessary.
           
The material that has been previously assigned 
consists of:
                   
Java 2 Fifth Edition Multimedia 
CyberClassroom - Chapters 1 through 9
            
Complete Java 2 Certification Guide - 
Chapters 1 through 3
               
You are welcome to join the group at any time 
during the session.  Feel free to join us even 
if you cannot arrive promptly at 10:00 A.M. or 
stay for the entire session.  It is entirely 
acceptable to drop in just for a couple of 
hours at any time, either in the morning or 
the afternoon.  
                  
If you are interested in learning Java and 
becoming Java certified, but have not been 
able to attend our meetings regularly, feel 
free to attend and we will discuss ways that 
you can jump-start your learning process and 
become synchronized with the group.  All it 
takes is the motivation to read the Java book 
and practice what you learn.
               
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail 
me and I will try to help you.
            
                 
Regards,
Lance Feldman
Chairman, JSFG Computer Committee
