Overview

Java is one of the major languages for building robust, cross-platform applications. Java's object-oriented architecture lends itself to rapid development and high maintainability, while its extensive class libraries encapsulate the entire range of modern technologies. Java may be used to develop a wide range of solutions, from simple applets that run in a web browser to complete enterprise solutions.

This course introduces both the Java framework and generic object-oriented principles. The hands-on exercises cover a wide range of topics including networking, multi-threading and GUI development

Objectives

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

• 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

Audience

This course is aimed primarily at programmers who are interested in developing Java applications and applets. Engineers, analysts and managers will also find it useful.

Prerequisites

Participants are expected to be familiar with at least one other programming language, but no other prior knowledge is assumed.
