Overview

Java has gained rapid acceptance as the cross-platform alternative to C++ for application development. Similar in syntax to C++, Java further simplifies and accelerates the development of robust, platform-independent applications.

This hands-on course capitalises on your existing C++ knowledge to accelerate your development as a proficient Java programmer. You gain a solid understanding of the Java language and runtime environment, and the extensive class libraries available with Java 2.

Objectives

On successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Appreciate the differences between C++ and Java
• Write, compile and execute Java programs using Java 2
• Build robust object-oriented applications using Java
• Create applications and applets using Java class libraries
• Develop cross-platform graphical user interfaces
• Perform I/O using Java stream classes
• Access local and remote databases using JDBC
• Interface to code written in other languages

Audience

This course is designed for programmers, engineers, analysts and managers migrating to Java from C++.

Prerequisites

A working knowledge of C++ programming and object-oriented concepts, up to the level covered in our C++ course, is assumed. Experience of Internet technologies and networking in general would be helpful.
