Course Description

This hands on Java programming course introduces experienced programmers to Java™ technology and Java programming techniques. The Java platform provides an object-oriented, portable and robust framework for application development. Included are core language concepts including fundamental data types, flow control, and standard function libraries. The course emphasizes object oriented programming and modular design to support distributed development environments. Included are the design of classes and objects, inheritance and polymorphism, and the details about creating programs for use on a distributed network, with emphasis on JSP, Servlets, and JDBC.The course also includes coverage of the Java Collections API, fundamental I/O, exceptions, and exception handling.

The Java training course is designed to leverage the participants' existing programming skills and to highlight the new and extended features of the Java programming framework as compared to other common languages. Comprehensive hands on exercises are integrated throughout to reinforce learning and develop real competency.

Students who do not already possess fundamental programming skills should attend the Learning to Program with Java course rather than this course.

Course Prerequisites

Basic programming skills in a structured language. Knowledge and experience with Object-Oriented Design (OOD) is helpful, but not required when learning to code Java.
