Course Description

This hands on Java training course provides experienced COBOL programmers with the ability to utilize the structure and syntax of the object oriented Java programming language for both general business and Internet programming applications. The student is prepared to code, test, and execute Java programs making use of the facilities provided by the language. Because procedural programming uses a different paradigm than object oriented programming, this course concentrates on the application of basic object oriented concepts.

This class is intended for experienced COBOL programmers or programmers experienced in any procedural (non object-oriented) programming language. Students who already understand object-oriented programming techniques should attend the Java Programming course instead of this Java for COBOL programmers course.

Course Prerequisites

Familiarity with and experience using COBOL or any procedural programming language.

The instructor did an excellent job presenting the material. Presented the material in a way that a mainframe programmer could follow and understand. Very knowledgeable of Java and other languages.
— R.J., The Home Depot

I'm very pleased with everything about this training program. The instructor was outstanding and I will definitely request him again for additional in-house training that we need. The training materials are well organized and can be used as reference material after the class. We are satisfied customers! Thanks HOTT!
