Intermediate Java Programming Training Class Summary

This intensive, hands-on, two day course focuses on enhancing developers skills in the Java API libraries. Students will learn to use common API packages, such collections for storing groups of objects, Swing for building GUI applications, and JDBC for accessing a database. Students will also learn to use inner classes and regular expressions within their Java applications.

Audience: Programmers wanting to expand their knowledge of the Java API packages.

Prerequisites: Introduction to Java or equivalent experience is required.

Class Length: 2 days
