Exercises

Exercises Each of the fifteen core lessons in Agile Java has you build bits and pieces of a student information system for a university. I chose this single common theme to help demonstrate how you can incrementally build upon and extend existing code. Each lesson also finishes with a series of exercises. Instead of the student information system, the bulk of the exercises, provided by Jeff Bay, have you build bits and pieces of a chess application. Some of the exercises are involved and quite challenging. But I highly recommend that you do every one. The exercises are where the real learning startsyou're figuring out how to solve problems using Java, without my help. Doing all of the exercises will give you a second opportunity to let each lesson sink in.
