Course Description |
||
This course covers the core OO and Java concepts that developers need to
use the Java programming language to create well designed Java programs.
It focuses on key OO capabilities and how to use them in Java. This
includes material on creating well designed Java classes, using
encapsulation, building more complex functionality with composition, and
using inheritance to share functionality and create specialized types.
Understand Java's importance, uses, strengths and weaknesses. Understand
Java language basics. Write, compile, and run Java programs. Understand
the Object Model and Object Oriented Programming. Understand and use
classes, inheritance, polymorphism. Create well designed classes and use
them in your Java programs. Use composition and delegation to create
objects from other objects. Understand & use packages to organize
code. Be familiar with more advanced concepts such as inheritance and
JDBC. Learn good Java coding style. Create well structured Java
programs. Compile and execute programs with the Java JDK and with an
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) of your choice. Use the newest
features of Java.

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... |
