Java Overview for Managers - JAV860

Java is one of the most important languages for creating robust, distributed applications and dynamic web content, as well as stand-alone applications. This course is an overview of Java technologies. We begin with an overview of object-oriented concepts, then delve into JDBC, other persistence methods, XML, web services, networking, JMS, JavaMail, and EJBs. Students will also learn about how these technologies fit together and what problems they solve. This course is designed to be primarily instructor demos and very little programming from the students.
