Java Standard Course
Track
You Will Learn
• 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
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.
Hands-On Training
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. Exercises include:
• Creating Java objects and calling their methods
• Structuring data with the Java collections API
• Creating portable GUIs with Swing components
• Adding event handling to GUIs
• Retrieving data from a relational database with JDBC
