08 Apr 2004 This is the first in a two-part tutorial that will introduce you to the Jython scripting language and provide you with enough knowledge to begin developing your own Jython-based applications. In this first half of the tutorial, you'll learn the concepts and programming basics of working with Jython, including access options and file compilation, syntax and data types, program structure, procedural statements, and functions.
Prerequisites
This tutorial is oriented towards software developers at all levels, from casual dabblers to professionals. It is especially oriented toward Java™ developers who want to leverage the productivity advantages of a scripting language. It is also targeted towards Visual Basic and C++/C# programmers who want an easier entry into the Java development world. To benefit from the discussion, you should be familiar with at least one procedural programming language and the basic concepts of computer programming, including command-line processing. To fully utilize Jython's features you should also be familiar with the basic concepts of object-oriented programming. It will also be helpful to have a working knowledge of the Java platform, as Jython runs on a JVM -- although this is not a requirement of the tutorial.
System requirements
You must have Jython 2.1 or higher installed on your development system to complete this tutorial. Your development system may be any ASCII text editor (such as Windows Notepad) combined with the command prompt. To use Jython you must also have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on your system. Download the latest version of the Java development kit (JDK).
