2. Use of javac and java.
3. Use of JBuilder.
4. The simple Java application ( class + main())
5. Use of import
6. Use of packages
7. Use of jars
8. Example of method, variable, objects

 

2. Simple HTML form
1. How HTML works – (from the source code to the image on Screen using a browser).
2. Simple tags <p>, <br>, <font>, ...
3. Simple form with get and post. Passing parameters to Web server
Example of the Form

 

3. Multitier architecture for Web application and the Simple Web Server application
1. Components of n-tier application: Servlets, JSP, EJB, Database
