Current Topics in Information Technology:  Summer '92
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Homewood Academic Computing of the Johns Hopkins University, in cooperation 
with the JHU Whiting School of Engineering, is offering this summer four short 
non-credit courses focusing on current topics in computing.  These courses are
designed specifically for information technology professionals who need to keep
abreast of the latest applications and techniques in their field. These courses 
are available to Hopkins personnel under the University's tuition-remission 
program.

Two courses on Windows 3.1 are intended for PC users who want to learn how to 
work with the Windows "graphical user interface", and for advanced Windows 
users who want to develop quick and easy applications.  A course on C++ is 
offered for experienced programmers who want to learn the fundamentals of 
object-oriented programming, or who want to gain experience with the Macintosh
programming environment. The multi-functional statistical programming 
environment known as S is the subject of our newest course.

All courses are hands-on, thus space is very limited. A registration form for 
these courses is attached.  For help with registration, please contact Debbie 
Hauck in Part-Time Engineering at 516-8728. For more information on course 
content, please call Lee Watkins, Assistant Director of Homewood Academic 
Computing, at 516-8096.



Introduction to Microsoft Windows 3.1                               
Peter A. Batke 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technologies Learning Center, third floor of 2701 N. Charles Street

This course provides a basic introduction to Microsoft Windows 3.1, a graphical
"desktop" environment for DOS PCs. Windows also provides the ability to launch 
several programs and run them concurrently, exchanging data between 
applications. Students will complete a thorough inventory of the major 
features of Windows 3.1, and then learn to use a representative set of 
Windows and non-Windows software packages.


Windows Application Development with ObjectVision     
Peter A. Batke  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Technologies Learning Center, 2701 N. Charles Street, third floor

For experienced Windows users, this course explains how to easily utilize the 
powerful visual programming capabilities of Borland's ObjectVision. The course 
will cover the general principles of desktop object-oriented programming, and 
then work through the forms-based approach to program development with 
ObjectVision.  Participants will produce a graphics-based Windows application 
that includes data entry forms, program decision trees, and links to databases.


Object-Oriented Programming with C++               
John E. Burke
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dorsey Center Mac Lab, Dorsey Business Park, Rt. 176
		 
This course introduces the C++ programming language using the Macintosh 
Programmers Workshop programming environment (although it will also be useful 
for non-Mac programmers).  It examines the many changes to C that C++ 
introduces, and the use of these features in writing simpler, safer software. 
The main tenets of object-oriented design are covered, including data 
encapsulation and abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism. As a culminating
exercise, the class will work through the design and implementation of a 
Macintosh application built using the MacApp class library. Students must be
comfortable reading and writing C code that uses pointers and structures 
extensively.


The S  Statistical Programming Environment           
Paul M. Wright
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indigo Workstation Lab, Krieger Hall 172-A
		 
This course presents data analysis and graphics using the new S language from 
Bell Labs, a powerful interactive programming environment for UNIX systems.  
Students will learn how S handles data, how to use the large collection of S 
functions to perform statistical analyses, and how to display information with
the flexible graphics capabilities of S. Students will also learn how to expand
S by writing S functions, as well as how to use the interface to UNIX system 
commands (one of the most useful aspects of any good UNIX tool). A working 
knowledge of statistical procedures and linear algebra operations is required 
for this course.
