Java Programming
Java Programming
Duration: 5 Days
Course Synopsis
This is a first level comprehensive introduction to Java Programming. The course concentrates on the fundamental aspect of Java programming and the core Java API packages. It covers Java platforms up to version 6.
Java multi-threading and Java GUI programming using ths Swing classes is also covered. Delegates will learn how to develop Java systems that use various core API packages.
Practical exercise will include
- Java Language - using the Eclipse IDE
- Building Applets and Applications
- Handling Exception and Errors
- Working with I/O Streams and Files
- Object Serialization
- Multi-threaded programming
- Exploiting the Java collection classes
- Using Event Models
- GUI programming - using both AWT and Swing
- Overview of Java and Internet programming
- Building JAR files
- Using JDBC
Course Objectives
On completion of the course a student should :
- Have a clear understanding of the Java architecture
- Be familiar with the standard Java packages
- Be able to create, build, and debug Java projects
- Know how to build and release Java applets and applications
- Be able to implement code to store objects using Java's Collection framework
- Understand Exception handling and know how to use it to make for robust applications
- Know how to realise I/O using Stream and File classes
- Develop GUI systems using the Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) and using Java Swing classes (JFC)
- Have a good understanding of the JavaBeans component architecture
- Be able to implement multi-threading applications
- Know how to best use and synchronise Java threads
- Know how to implement TCP/IP applications in Java
- Know how to use JDBC to implement database oriented applications
- This course is aimed at anyone needing to learn Java who already has experience with some other programming language.
