The programming language was Java. Before venturing into Screensaver FDTD, I was only familiar with the Windows operating systems. This project also gave me a good introduction to Java. While venturing in the world of UNIX, I learned about it' s portability. The portability of UNIX allows it to be used on many makes of computers.
Portability comes in very handy in programming.
While learning both UNIX and Java, the concepts of computing and programming that I had learned at Mississippi Valley State University were also needed to be successful. As a result of touching basis with my prior education in the field of Computer Science, I added on to those things as well. In conclusion, I feel that this was a very rewarding experience. The introduction to the UNIX operating system and it's capabilities, will be an asset in my ongoing education in the field of Computer Science. After creating the screensaver program, I have also learned some of the capabilities of Java.
