Java Programming

Java is one of the major languages for building robust, cross-platform applications. Java's object-oriented architecture lends itself to rapid development and high maintainability, while its extensive class libraries encapsulate the entire range of modern technologies. Java may be used to develop a wide range of solutions, from simple applets that run in a web browser to complete enterprise solutions.

This course introduces both the Java framework and generic object-oriented principles. The hands-on exercises cover a wide range of topics including networking, multi-threading and GUI development
