Welcome everybody to the 2011 class of Programming for Designers. My name is Malcolm and I will be your captain on this flight. Your attendants are Tim Wiley and Sim Mautner. We’re all here to look after you and make sure you have a pleasant flight.

Before we take off, please make sure you check out the safety instructions in the seat pocket in front of you. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.

We expect this session’s flight to be smooth and hope to have you to your destination in a little over 13 weeks. So sit back, relax, and let’s learn Java.
