Java Programming Language

Course Description

Course Outline/Details

The Java Programming Language course provides students with a series of six web-based courses that can help experienced programmers learn how to write, compile, and run Java technology applications. Taken together, this series provides fundamental knowledge about the Java programming language and its runtime environment, object-oriented programming with the Java programming language, creating programs with graphical user interface (GUI) components, handling exceptions, using threads, creating applets, and how input/output and networking work in the Java programming language.

This series of courses uses a new learning tool, called the ObjectTool (patent pending), which was specifically created to help you more readily understand the Java technology programming language syntax and semantics. This tool also provides support for learning object concepts, such as encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.

eMentoring Services are also included with this series of courses.

Who Can Benefit

Students who can benefit from this course are experienced C++, C, COBOL, or Visual BASIC programmers who are interested in adding the Java programming language to their skill set. This course will also benefit students who are preparing for the Sun Certified Programmer for Java 2 Platform Exam or the Sun Certified Developer for Java 2 Platform Exam.

Prerequisites

To succeed fully in this course, students should be able to:

Apply the principles of object-oriented programming

Create or compile simple programs in a programming language, such as C or C++, or use the skills they learned while completing the SL-110: Fundamentals of the Java Programming Language course

Use the skills they learned while completing the SL-210: Migrating to OO Programming with Java Technology course

Use a text editor to create and edit text files

Use basic UNIX(R) commands

Use a World Wide Web (WWW) browser, such as Netscape Navigator

Skills Gained

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

Write, compile, and run Java technology programs

Create Java technology applications that leverage the object-oriented features of the Java language, such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism

Explain the basic concepts related to variables and objects

Create arrays of different data types

Design a class with attributes and methods

Handle exceptions that occur during the execution of Java technology applications

Use threads in your Java technology code

Create programs with GUI components: panels, buttons, labels, text fields, and text areas

Create GUI-based applications and applets

Explain the concepts of input/output and networking and describe how they work in the Java technology

Implement the Java technology networking model to make network connections
