Java Comprehensive Intro - Programming with J2SE

Course Overview

Java is the high-level programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. Similar to C++, Java has been simplified to eliminate language features that cause common programming errors.

The growing number of companies offering Java Enterprise application servers, the use of Java for the development of reference implementations for XML and other W3C technologies illustrate the increasing commercial penetration of Java.

This highly acclaimed Hands-On Java programming training course provides delegates who prefer a fast track learning route with intensive practical tuition using Sun's Java Development Kit (JDK). The topics covered will help prepare delegates for certification tests and should prove invaluable for those planning to build commercial Java applets and applications.

This course has been developed for real-world, commercial scenarios by our expert instructors. See below for detailed syllabus.

Audience

IT professionals who are completely new to Java programming or those with elementary skills in Java who need to gain hands-on experience of developing commercial Java applications using the JDK.

Skills Gained

Hands-on Exercises

The completed exercises and solutions provide useful skeletons which can be used as a basis for the development of purpose built applications, including:

• Code for database access
• Code for a network client and server
• Code for a graphical text editor

Delegates will obtain :

• An understanding of the Java environment design. Delegates will be in a good position to start to learn about Java Enterprise.
• A good grasp of the basic syntax of the language, which is essential for the effective use of Java.
• Experience in the use of object oriented technology.
• The essential features of the Swing packages and the Java event model used to process user interaction.
• An understanding of how to use the JDBC to open a database connection, make and process queries.
• An awareness of the basic classes needed for thread and networking programming.

Prerequisites

Programming skills gained in any language.
