Application - Java Training

Introduction

• Write, compile and execute Java programs
• Build robust applications using Java's object-oriented features
• Create robust applications using Java class libraries
• Develop platform-independent GUIs
• Read and write data using Java streams
• Retrieve data from a relational database with JDBC

Course Benefits

Experience in the following areas is required:

• Java's unique architecture enables programmers to develop a single application that can run across multiple platforms seamlessly and reliably.
• In this hands-on course, you gain extensive experience with Java and its object-oriented features.
• You learn to create robust console and GUI applications and store and retrieve data from relational databases.

Who Should Attend

• Anyone developing Java applications.
• Previous experience with a programming language such as C, Pascal or COBOL is assumed.
• Familiarity with Web technologies and object concepts is helpful.

A series of hands-on exercises provides experience creating Java applications. Through an ongoing case study, you design and build an intricate desktop application modeled on a well-known Web site.
