Purpose of JUGA Book

What is JUGA Book?
JUGA Book will be a free online textbook/course that will teach students the principals and basic components of programming in JAVA. The book will be presented in an online web page format through text, videos, and downloadable reference files. Students will be able to follow the tutorials (chapters) in any order they choose and access them at any time.

What is the goal of JUGA Book?
The goal of JUGA Book is to create an easy way of learning Java while in an online environment. It is my intention to make JUGA Book understandable to someone who has no previous programming experience. Ultimately, I would like to see JUGA Book become an alternative to the expensive required texts of University courses.

Why is it called JUGA Book?
Since I am developing this Java book while I am a student at UGA, JUGA, became the blended acronym for the project.

When will JUGA Book be ready?
The book will be completed by May 2007, but progress can be tracked here at http://jugabook.blogspot.com
