Java Training Course

The Java Platform

After Sun Java Development Kit installation, students learn the fundamentals of the Java Virtual Machine, the Java Runtime Environment, bytecode and the difference between .java and .class files. This class explores the key components of the Java platform and features that make it attractive to both businesses and programmers including security, portability, object-orientation, efficiency and robustness.

Creating Java Applications

Students acquire a solid understanding of Java packages, the JDK, the core API, JARs and development tools necessary to create Java Applications. In this training class, students also learn how to incorporate and leverage the power of built-in Java functionality.

Java Grammar and Fundamental Concepts

Grammar dictates how instructions are written within all programming languages. In this course, students master core aspects of the Java grammar including operators, program flow control and data types. This class will also explore some areas where Java differs from other languages, such as fields, methods and garbage collection.

Object-Oriented Programming

Java is an object-oriented language inheriting from C++. So application creation involves object selection, property and behavior definition. Students gain a solid understanding of object-oriented programming so they can master application development and simplify management, improvement and debugging processes. In this training class, students also learn OO topics including polymorphism and inheritance classes.

File Input/Output and Java Streams

Students learn the importance of saving and retrieving information stored in files and gain a clear understanding of Java Streams, which allow for file I/O. In doing so, they explore the related issue of serializing objects for permanent storage and retrieval.

Databases and JDBC

Students will invariably need to store data in a database at some point. Therefore, this training course provides hands-on instruction in database connection using JDBC and SQL.

JavaServer Pages and the Tomcat Server:

The Internet provides a wealth of information, with millions of web pages providing dynamic content. To address this need, students gain the skills necessary to rapidly create and deploy dynamic web content using JavaServer Page (JSP). They will also learn how to setup a Tomcat Server, embed Java in JSP and use Tag Libraries.

Prerequisites:

• Experience with a programming language such as C, C++, Visual Basic, VBScript, Javascript or Perl
