Welcome to the Wikiversity Java Center, part of the School of Computer Science.

Java is a popular language. The Java Center is a Wikiversity content development project where participants create and organize learning resources about Java.

The "topic" namespace contains pages that are for management and organization of small academic units at Wikiversity such as departments (see: Wikiversity:Topics).

The AP Computer Science test uses Java for the curriculum. The AP Computer Science textbook at Wikibooks can be found below.

16 September 2006 - Center founded!

Learning projects

See: Learning Projects and the Wikiversity:Learning model.

Learning materials and learning projects are located in the main Wikiversity namespace. Simply make a link to the name of the learning project (learning projects are independent pages in the main namespace) and start writing! We suggest the use of the learning project template (use "{{subst:Learning project boilerplate}}" on the new page).

Learning materials and learning projects can be used by multiple departments. Cooperate with other departments that use the same learning resource.

Introduction to Computer Science - instruction in the Java language is a major component of this course
Learning Java - a Java course developed at Wikiversity
Introduction to Programming in Java - A Java course under development at Wikiversity for students with no previous programming experience.
Advanced Java - For those who have completed an introductory Java course
Java Tutorial - A step-by-step walk-through of the language
Game Development Project CisLunarFreighter - By Mirwin - See Topic_Talk:Java
Java Platform, Enterprise Edition - By Aravind V R - Contain resources for learning Java Enterprise Edition. Includes Java EE Tutorial, Java Glossary Etc.

Remember, Wikiversity has adopted the "learning by doing" model for education. Lessons should center on learning activities for Wikiversity participants. We learn by doing.
