I have been making enquiries to various Colleges in Southern Hampshire about
Java courses. The only course I can find which may possibly run is at
Eastleigh College of FE. BUT they need more participants to make the course
viable.
If it runs, it will run on Thursdays from 18:00 until 21:00. So, if you have
been thinking of learning Java, especially now that Sun is opening it up,
this could be your chance. The college is relatively easy to get to either
by car, or a short walk from the Railway and Bus Stations. The details I
received from the college are given below.
If you are enrolling, or seriously thinking of doing so, it may be an idea
to say so on this list (thread?), to give encouragement to everyone else.

See you there?

Course title: OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING IN JAVA
Who is the course suitable for?
This course is suitable for those who already have a good understanding of
structured programming and, preferably a qualification in Pascal or C. This
is not a course for beginners to programming, although it is a first
introduction to the JAVA language.
What does the course involve?
Students will be taught through demonstration and example, following
practical exercises in class. Students will have the opportunity to develop
an understanding of the structure and syntax of the JAVA language as well as
understanding the concepts of object oriented programming.
What is the qualification and how is it gained? (Vocational)
One module towards the City and Guilds Certificate in Programming. Students
who already have one module with achieve the certificate. Those who already
have the Certificate will be able to add the JAVA module to their
certificate.
How will I learn? (theory/practical etc)
The course is practical based with assessments throughout the year. Theory
elements are interwoven into the practical delivery.
What will I gain from the course?
By the end of the course, students will have the competence to code,
compile and execute JAVA applets and applications.
What can I progress on to when I've finished the course?
Students who have only the JAVA module may wish to acquire the City and
Guilds Certificate in Programming by taking another module in, for example,
C++ or Visual Basic.
What do I need to bring to the first class?
You will need to bring writing materials and a floppy disk to the first
class.
Are there any other costs involved.? (for materials membership etc).
There are no additional costs.
How many weeks will the course run for?
Can I join at any time?
