This course is paced to provide a solid foundation in Java for programmers without syntax experience in a C-based language. Intensive and hands-on, the course emphasizes becoming productive quickly as a Java 5.0 programmer. Besides learning the basic structure and syntax of the language, students will also learn object-oriented principles and how they are applied in Java applications. The course then covers several of the provided API packages, such as I/O streams, collections, Swing GUI programming, and accessing a database with JDBC. Appendices on threading and J2EE are also available for further study.
Audience
Programmers moving to object-oriented programming using Java.
Prerequisites
Programming experience in a programming language, such as COBOL and Visual Basic is helpful.
