Errrm… If you don’t know what Java is, you probably want to get out of that class.
To put it simply, Java is a programming language. It’s pretty powerful, but you can often find it in the form of little games or elements on web pages. Have you ever seen pictures like this where you get a wavy, animated reflection on the bottom? That’s a common example of Java in action.
Unless you’re very dedicated, detail-oriented and passionate about computer programming, I think you’re going to have difficulty with Java. It’s basically all text based. Are you in high school or university? Depending on which, the class may or may not be catered to people who know little about programming. You may end up with several other classmates who know nothing about programming, or you may end up being the only one who hasn’t already had previous experience with computer programming. That can really make or break a class – whether your classmates and professor will be willing to help you out with all this complicated stuff.
I’m sorry if this post scares you! ^^;
