I have been working on an introductory Java course for a year or so and I have made it available in various formats under an Open Commons license, i.e. very freely reproducable and distributable.

It is available as a pdf file and an OpenOffice.org writer file with associated graphics. It is about 28,000 words covering around 100 pages. I thought it might be useful for teachers.

You can find it at
http://www.examulator.com/moodle

I also intend to make it available in the moodle VLE format as well so it can simply be set up as an interactive online course like it is on that system.

All feedback greatly appreciated.
Marcus

Many thanks for your feedback.

Yes, it is aimed at beginners and I intend to keep it mainly at that target audience on the basis that there are more beginners than experienced people. Of course if I eventually feel I have covered beginner material sufficiently I will move on to more complex stuff, but I want to do each element as well as I possibly can.

One of the areas I may work on is JDBC as that is something that is not wildly complex and has a direct usefulness for many programmers.

The chat feature will not be particularly useful unless and untill I have considerable traffic, and so I will concentrate on the forum aspects for communication.
