Java Homework Projects guides students through building some fun, practical applications, while learning programming concepts and design flow. Students can extend and customize the project to make it their own, and share with friends - a great learning motivator! - Carly Orr, Computer Science Teacher, Vancouver BC. These lessons are a highly organized and well-indexed set of lessons in the Java programming language. NetBeans, a specific IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is used throughout the lessons. Lessons are written for the beginner to initiated programmer: the high school, college or university student seeking to advance their computer science repertoire on their own, or the enlightened professional who wishes to embark on Java coding for the first time. Skilled programmers and beginners alike benefit from the style of presentation. Every Computer Science teacher and self-taught learner knows what a great deal of work is required for projects to work in this manner, and with these tutorials, the work is done by an author who understands the adult need for streamlined learning. Having my own projects in one language, such as Java, I know that I could easily adapt them to other languages once I have studied the Kidware Software tutorials. I do not believe there is any other reference material out there which would cause me to make the same claim! In fact, I know there is not as I have spent over a decade looking! I thank Kidware Software and its authors for continuing to stand for what is right in the teaching methodologies which not only inspire, but propel the self-guided learner through what can be a highly intelligible landscape of opportunities. - Alan Payne, Computer Science Teacher, T.A. Blakelock High School
