This is a 5 - day course that provides a broad and deep introduction to
Java for non - Java programmers. The course covers all the basic
concepts of Object - Oriented Programming and Java. Included is the
material and labs on all the key OO concepts, includ ing topics like
encapsulation, composition, and inheritance. It also includes some
coverage of advanced Java capabilities such as JDBC/JPA and the
Collections Framework, as well as coverage and usage of many of the
newer capabilities in Java 7. There are a large number of labs, and all
labs except the first are done with a development environment (e.g.
Eclipse or RAD). The lab instructions include detailed directions on the
particular environment for that version of the course.

Complimentary Skills to have along with Java Programming
- If you are an experienced Java developer, learning a complimentary language to Java should come much more naturally. As an example JetBrains recently created the Kotlin programming language which is officially supported by Google for mobile development. Kotlin compiles to Java bytecode and runs on the JVM; it's purported to address many of Java's shortcomings... |
