This introduction to programming Java applets includes tutorials on objects, classes, threads and events, and how to integrate Java applets into a Web site; some knowledge of programming is recommended. Unlike the Java Tutorial CD, it coves version JDK 1.1 (and is also a very different style).
This intermediate-level tutorial is a suitable follow-on from the Introduction to Programming Java Applets CD.
This tutorial explains Java programming using animated demos to illustrate concepts such as threads, controls and advanced API elements. Exercises are provided to test understanding of the material. Also included are a Java compiler, debugger and applet viewer, hints and tips on design, working lessons from the C and C++ tutorials, and a reference section of Java syntax and API structures. The book referred to is provided on the CD (Java eadme.txt, Javachaptersintroduction.txt etc).
This VTC Training CD (approx. 4 hours) can be used under Windows or on the Macintosh. JavaScript can be thought of as an extension to HTML; it provides facilities for pop-up windows, manipulating images, inserting digital clocks and counters etc.
This 'crash course' will teach you the layout of the keyboard in about one hour. It is suitable for those just learning to start to type who want a 'quick start' approach.
This follow-up practical gives those who have attended the LaTeX Introduction an opportunity to do exercises under supervision.
LaTeX is a powerful document description language built on top of TeX. It is available on Unix, Windows and Macintoshes. It can be used for the presentation of plain text (including accented characters and letters outside the English alphabet), the typesetting of mathematics, the generation of tables, and producing simple diagrams. It is particularly suited for the writing of theses, papers and technical documents.
This is a simple demonstration of the installation of a reasonably modern Linux distribution (currently OpenSuSE 10.3) on a standard, low end PC. There is an opportunity for extensive questions and answers during the software installation phase.

A set of 2-hour tutorials on CD-ROMs on Macintosh System OS X. As exercises are not provided, it is not necessary to have this version of the system installed.
This course offers a basic introduction to Mac OS X, the latest version of the Mac operating system. It also gives an overview of some of the more advanced functions offered by the operating system, and the core applications, which both an office or PWF user would find useful to use e.g. Microsoft Word.
This is a Mac Pro Video tutorial on Mac OS. The DVD can be used on both Macs (although advertised as being usable under Windows, we have had no success in doing so).
This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.
Mathematica is a software package for numerical computation, symbolic manipulation and the production of graphics from mathematical functions and data. This course is for beginners and new users of the package and describes basic concepts and use of Mathematica.

Mathematica is a software package for numerical computation, symbolic manipulation and the production of graphics from mathematical functions and data. This course examines Mathematica's graphical capabilities in more detail than the "Mathematica: Basics" course.
This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.
This course will cover using Mathematica for simple numerical programming, concentrating on linear algebra. It will indicate how it can be used for more advanced work, but not attempt to teach the details. The emphasis will be more on teaching what can be done than on teaching rules for how to do specific tasks.
This course is part of the Scientific Computing series.
This course will cover using Mathematica for symbolic calculations (i.e. ones operating on formulae and not just numbers), concentrating on linear algebra. It will show how to use this to get first and higher order approximations to some linear algebra problems. It will indicate how it can be used for other such work, but not attempt to teach the details. The emphasis will be more on teaching what can be done than on teaching rules for how to do specific tasks.
Attendees should note that this is one of the most advanced courses on scientific computation given in the University, by any department, and is not suitable for inexperienced programmers.
The Computing Service now offers an introductory course on Matlab. Various other resources are available as described below.
Matlab is a software package for numerical computation with high quality graphics facilities. This course is for beginners and new users of the package and describes basic concepts and use of Matlab, but not any other optional 'Toolboxes' available from the developers of MATLAB.

This is the Excel Course
This beginners course equips you with the skills to implement a relational database design entity relationship diagram (ERD) into a MySQL database.
This is a CD-ROM-based video presentation on Dragon NaturallySpeaking Version 7 (voice recognition software). Designed for both new and practised users of Dragon NaturallySpeaking Version 7, presenter Dan Newman visually guides you through key topics and skills, whilst suggesting various useful hints and tips. Each volume takes approximately 2 hours. The video is designed to complement the printed User Guide and taught courses (manpower permitting, one-to-one tuition is available from the Computing Service).
