Last day of Java

An exhilarating week with 3 keen students ... both old friends from "way back" and newcomers too. Would have been nice to have one or two more on this course (for purely commercial reasons ;-) ) but it's worked very well. With a Java course, I always take an example based on one of the trainee's real applications or interests, and this week we've had person objects, extended into lecturers and students. Lecturers earn a salary based on their age, students make a fixed notional amount in part time jobs, and we see polymorphism in action.
At about 9 O'Clock, we'll start putting JSP and Servlet wrappers around the examples that we've been writing this week ... by 16:30 finish there will be all sorts of interesting classes to be emailed back to the attendees as they return home.
