Introduction To Java Programming

This class provides an entry point for those new to Java Programming. It can be delivered to private groups, onsite or a location of your choice. It can also be delivered via the Internet for geographically distributed staff or a mixture of both.

Overview

The Java Programming Language has become a leading programming language for Web, enterprise and general applications development. This course covers established language syntax as well as Java 5 enhancements, additions and changes. At the conclusion of this course, participants with be prepared to develop Java applications using simple text editors and sophisticated Integrated Development Environments.This course provides:

Java programming fundamentals
Object-oriented programming essentials
Applications development best practices and strategies

The course is offered to participants with varying in technical skill sets:

Introduction to Java Programming for Non-programmers (5 days, $2450.00): Participants receive the fundamentals of applications development, best practices, object-oriented programming constructs and strategies, and Java Programming Language essentials.

Introduction to Java Programming for COBOL Programmers (4 days, $2050.00): Participants receive a roadmap for migrating from procedural-base development to object-oriented programming constructs and strategies, and Java Programming Language essentials.

Introduction to Java Programming for C/C++ Programmers (3 days, $1750.00): Participants leverage their knowledge of structured and object-oriented programming skills to maximize their learning experience. C/C++ grammars and development strategies are contrasted with those of Java to expedite the learning curve.

Introduction to Java Programming Custom Course (TBD, call for pricing)

Depending on the skill set of the participants (listed above), introductory modules provide the necessary foundations required to master Java.

Intermediate modules provide participants with the Java Programming Language syntax, the roll of the Java Virtual Machine, Java archives, as well as an understanding of heredity, encapsulation, abstraction and generalization and polymorphism.

Concluding modules provide participants with Java programming strategies and application design, deployment, Java SE core classes, as well as an overview of Java EE.
