    Author: Patrik Persson Contact: [email protected]

    This is a brief tutorial in Java for you who already know


    another object-oriented language, such as Simula or C++.
    The tutorial is organized as a number of examples showing
    the details of Java. The intention is to give you enough
    information about the Java language to be able to follow the
    course in real-time programming.
    There are books claiming to teach you Java in 21 days, but
    since you already know object-orientation your learning
    time will probably be closer to 21 minutes hence the title.
