What is the best way to undertake this unit?

As a comp131 student, you will be asked to solve problems using programs written in the Java computer language. To do this you will need to interact with our computer system here at UNE. For programming in Java you will be using a computer system named  turing   (named after the famous computer scientist Alan Turing). Details of how to create, edit, and compile programs using turing will be covered in the unit Tutorials.

Internal on-campus students will utilise the computer labs located in the Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science building here at UNE.

The best way for external/off-campus students to undertake this unit is to install a program named NX-Client on their computer system, and use it to connect to turing.
See NX-CLIENT: A new way to remotely connect to turing for instructions on how to download/install and configure this software.

What is the URL for the Java API (Application Interface)?

You can use your Web browser to view the Java API by going to either one of the following links

1. On turing:
   

   http://turing.une.edu.au/doc/java/api/
   

2. On the Sun site:
