Who should attend: Programmers who want to know what Jini technology does, how it does it, and how they can play. Participants should be familiar with Java language programming beyond the beginner level, and with OO in general. Some familiarity with distributed programming is helpful, but not required.

The Jini architecture makes it possible to write and deploy services in a network so that the set of services and their interactions are flexible. This course will teach you the architecture, its component parts, and how they interact. You will then learn how the architecture is expressed in Java programming, the interfaces and classes involved, and the pieces of the Jini programming model.

You will learn about the responsibilities of services in a Jini system, and how to use the programmer tools available for developing services and clients in a Jini system. Examples of simple services will be discussed, and you will have frameworks for writing your own services and clients.
