JAVA TECHNOLOGY FOR STRUCTURED PROGRAMMERS

The Java programming language is the language of choice for integrating legacy systems with new dot-com applications. To productively use this language, a software professional needs to know the language basics, such as syntax and application programming interface (API) structures, but also object-oriented (OO) concepts.

This course provides an intensive introduction to these basics as well as other related subjects such as, graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and event-driven processing. By performing hands-on exercises using the Java 2, Standard Edition (J2SE), Software Development Kit (SDK), delegates will be taught how to code Java technology applications and applets that perform exception handling and access data with Java technology file input/output (I/O) features. Class discussions will explore the benefits and uses of Java technology in the legacy environment.

Completing this course will provide software professionals the essential knowledge necessary to train on more advanced Java technologies and assist individuals preparing for the Sun Certified Programmer for Java Technology examination.

BENEFIT

Motivated and experienced mainframe or mid-range application developers who use a structured (or procedural) programming language and who are interested in adding the Java development platform to their list of skills.
