Prerequisites

You should be an experienced Java programmer before taking this course.

Taking the Course

To take this ShareWare CourseWare™ self-paced course, please follow these steps:

Step 1

Download and install the Courseware Viewer program that enables you to take the course. If you've previously taken a ShareWare CourseWare™ self-paced course, you should already have the CourseWare Viewer installed and thus can skip this step.

Note: Since the Servlet Programming course involves Java programming, we recommend that you use the Windows or Linux Installer or "Manual" method of installing the CourseWare Viewer. Those two installation techniques require you to first install the Java Software Development Kit (JSDK), which you will need if you want to do the lab exercises.

Step 2

Agree to the License and Download the Servlet Programming self-paced course.

Click here to read and accept the license agreement and advance to the download page.

Important: Please take special note that ShareWare CourseWare is for personal, non-commercial use only! Commercial entities must license courseware as described here.

Step 3

Run the CourseWare Viewer and open the Servlet Programming Workshop.

Start the CourseWare Viewer using the appropriate technique for the way you installed the CourseWare Viewer.

To open the Servlet Programming Course, in the CourseWare Viewer, choose File - Open, then navigate to the folder to which you installed the Servlet Programming Course. Choose the servlet.crs file to start taking the course. Enjoy!

Note: The lab exercises are not available unless you license the course. However, so you can see what the labs are like, we've made the first lab exercise available at no charge. Note that if you wish to do that lab, you will first need to setup and configure your computer for the labs.

Step 4

License the Course!

To get the most out of the course, you should license the course so you can complete the lab exercises.

Licensing costs only $10 and is an easy and fast process. Immediately after you license the course, you will receive a registration code to unlock the lab exercises.

After licensing, you will need to setup and configure your computer for the labs if you have not already done so.
