Course Description |
||
This 5-day course includes a short review of basic Java concepts, and
then moves on to a comprehensive coverage of more advanced topics in
Java and OO programming to provide participants with a strong grounding
in using Java in a sophisticated and productive manner. This course
goes well beyond the basics of Java and OO programming and covers
important topics such as composition, inheritance, polymorphism,
interfaces and exceptions, which are all key to creating well-structured
OO systems using Java. After coverage of these important areas, it moves
on to more advanced topics such as JDBC and JPA 2 (for database access),
the Java Collections Framework - including the important generics
capabilities, Java I/O, assertions, inner classes, and the reflection
API. Finally it covers useful tools for day-to-day programming such as
ant, maven, JUnit and various logging frameworks. This course covers
far more than an introductory course, and provides participants with a
comprehensive understanding of how to use Java's advanced capabilities
in a more sophisticated manner. It teaches a number of useful techniques
that enhance productivity and good system design - which Java
programmers may otherwise take years to absorb on their own.

Complimentary Skills to have along with Java Programming
- If you are an experienced Java developer, learning a complimentary language to Java should come much more naturally. As an example JetBrains recently created the Kotlin programming language which is officially supported by Google for mobile development. Kotlin compiles to Java bytecode and runs on the JVM; it's purported to address many of Java's shortcomings... |
