Java Programming

Course Overview

The Java programming language is a widely used powerful tool for producing genuine object-oriented programs. This course guides experienced programmers through the complexities of writing and maintaining object-oriented programs in Java. The course is spread over a five-day period and comprises of instructor-led presentations and practical hands-on exercises. The practical sessions are structured to give the delegates the opportunity to put into practice all of the language constructs covered during the instructor-led sessions. The delegates will be able to take away with them copies of all the code they have written, along with sample solutions and demonstration code.
Prerequisites

• It is assumed that anyone attending this course is experienced in a block-structured language such as Pascal, modern variants of Basic, Smalltalk, Ada, C or C++, C# etc. They should be familiar with concepts such as functions or procedures, control flow, arrays, and structures or records. Knowledge of C++ is neither assumed nor required.

Objectives

Delegates will be able to :

• Write, maintain and debug Java console, applet and window applications, make effective use of some of the standard packages, write object-oriented code using encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.
