Course Description |
||
This course covers the core OO and Java concepts that developers need to
use the Java programming language to create well designed Java programs.
It focuses on key OO capabilities and how to use them in Java. This
includes material on creating well designed Java classes, using
encapsulation, building more complex functionality with composition, and
using inheritance to share functionality and create specialized types.
This course is suitable for environments using either Java 5, Java 6, or
Java 7. The material includes coverage of all current Java capabilities
that are within the scope of the material, including new Java 7
capabilities such as strings in switch statements, and Multi-catch. It
also stresses the use of good coding practices for all the examples and
labs. All labs are doable in any of the supported Java environments.
This course is available for most IDEs, such as Eclipse and IBM RAD.
This course draws on our extensive experience to provide a solid
understanding of the concepts and practices needed to write good object
oriented programs in Java. Â Be prepared to work hard and
learn a great deal! This course can be followed by our Intermediate Java
course. The course can be held on-site & customized to fit your
needs.

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... |
