Software: Java 2
Course length: 5.0 days
Course Description
Welcome to Java 2 Programming Language (Third Edition). Now that you have taken Introduction to Programming (Second Edition), you have a solid foundation of programming concepts. This course expands upon those basic concepts and covers the essential elements of the Java programming language. This course offers you a job-related approach to successful Java programming. Finally, it provides all the basic skills required to develop functionally sound and efficient Java applications.
Course Objective: You will create simple Java applications. You will discover how control moves through a program. Next, you will explore the Java class libraries and how to use this information to program more effectively. You will discover how to create classes and program with objects. You will handle exceptions and create threads to provide concurrence and use the CPU efficiently. Finally, you will use Java collections and the Swing library to complete your Java application.
Prerequisites: To ensure your success, we recommend you first take the Element K course, Introduction to Programming (Second Edition), or have equivalent knowledge.
Delivery Method: Instructor led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
-
Create, compile, and run a simple Java application.
-
Control program flow by writing code to react to specific situations and produce correct results for the situation.
-
Work with a Java class library to instantiate objects from Java classes.
-
Create classes in the Java 2 programming language.
-
Program with objects to write Java applications that are reusable, reliable, and understandable.
-
Handle exceptions to detect and manage errors while your Java application is running.
-
Create threads in your Java application to provide concurrency among multiple parallel execution subtasks, with or without synchronization.
-
Use collections in a Java application.
-
Develop a graphical user interface (GUI) using Swing library components to handle mouse and key events.
