Overview

This 5-day, lecture-and-lab course presents database-intensive, desktop- and web-application development techniques in Java. Many of the topics are presented in the context of the Netbeans IDE (www.netbeans.org) and use MySQL/Java DB for the database and Sun’s Java System Application Server to host the web applications. Many of the techniques presented in this course can be applied to other IDE, databases and application servers. Key topics include networking, JDBC database access, JavaServer Faces (JSF), Ajax-enabled JSF components, building web services and consuming web services. Students will participate in extensive hands-on laboratory assignments.
