Java Task Force

In early 2004, the ACM created the Java Task Force (JTF).

Charter

To review the Java language, APIs, and tools from the perspective of introductory computing education and to develop a stable collection of pedagogical resources that will make it easier to teach Java to first-year computing students without having those students overwhelmed by its complexity.
