Overview

[Note: This intense, 5-day, lecture-and-laboratory Java programming course is for programmers not yet familiar with C/C++. Programmers already familiar with C/C++ should take Java™ for C and C++ Programmers.]

This course presents object-oriented programming with the Java programming language. Key topics include the Java Development Kit (JDK), Java 5.0, classes, objects, encapsulation, interfaces, inheritance, polymorphism, abstract classes, packages, event-driven programming, graphical user interfaces (GUIs), exception handling, file processing and networking. Students create Java applications, understand Java object-oriented programming, learn to use various Java Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and participate in extensive laboratory assignments for hands on experience.
