In this Introduction to Java Programming training course, you gain extensive hands-on experience writing, compiling, and executing Java programs.

Utbildningsmål

You will learn to build robust applications that use Java’s object-oriented features. Java is known for reliability, maintainability, and ease of development. Its unique architecture enables programmers to develop a single application that can seamlessly run across multiple platforms. Attend this course and learn to leverage these key features.

• Design and build robust, object-oriented applications
• Organise complex data using Java collections
• Access any relational database using JDBC
• Read/write files and handle exceptions

Förkunskaper

• Three to six months of experience in a high-level programming language, such as C, Pascal, or Visual Basic
• Familiarity with web technologies and object concepts
• You should know how to Structure data, use variables, flow-control statements, and subroutines, write, compile, and execute a program.
