Introduction to Java Programming Training Class Summary

Intensive and hands-on, the course emphasizes becoming productive quickly as a Java™ application developer. This course quickly covers the Java language syntax and then moves into the object-oriented features of the language. Students will then learn the I/O streams and collections API packages. This course is current to Java 7 and uses the Eclipse IDE.

Audience: Programmers moving to object-oriented programming using Java.

Prerequisites: Professional programming experience in C, C++, or C# required. Knowledge of Object-Oriented concepts is required.

Class Length: 3 days

Introduction to Java Programming Training Class Objectives
  • Write stand-alone applications using the Java language.
  • Accurately implement Object-Oriented concepts using Java features, such as classes, interfaces, and references.
  • Create well-scoped classes using packages and inner classes.
  • Write programs which both handle and create exceptions.
  • Read and write data, using input and output streams.
  • Use the Java Collections Framework to work with groups of objects.
