This module is one in a series of modules designed to teach you about the essence of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) using Java with particular emphasis on accessibility for blind students.

The first module, along with several modules that follow provide the background information that you will need to understand the sound and audio programming material later in the course. You will need to study this material if you are new to Java programming.

The minimum prerequisites for understanding the material include:

• A cursory understanding of algebra.
• An understanding of the material covered in the Programming Fundamentals modules that you will find in two formats at the following URLs. These modules provide fundamental programming concepts using the Java programming language in a format that should be accessible.
