• extensible
• flexible
• maintainable
• modular
• portable

It would be easy to say the following:

• completion of an introductory course in Java
• one year of experience programming in Java

but these are vague.

You must be able to do the following in Java:

• define a class
• define/invoke a constructor
• define/invoke a member function
• define/invoke a static member function
• define a class to be publicly derived from another class

You will receive:

• The book "Design Patterns" by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides
• A book containing copies of all the instructor's slides
  

You will also receive:

• Java source files for all the lab exercises
• A diskette (to take your lab exercises home with you)
