Introduction to Java Programming
In this 3-Day hands-on Introduction to Java course, students become productive quickly in the Java™ language. This course quickly is current through Java 7.0 language syntax and then moves into more advanced features of the language such as abstract classes, interfaces, generics, packages, and exception handling. Students will then learn two foundational API libraries: I/O streams and collections. Additional appendices on threads, J2EE™, and Eclipse are provided for further study. This course is current to Java 7 and uses the Eclipse IDE.
Our Java courses are live, interactive instructor-led courses with lecture, question and answers times, labs and true hands-on-learning. The typical Java programming course is about 40%-50% lecture and 50% hands-on learning. Most Java training classes included hand-on lab exercises at the end of each learning module. These informal lab exercises give the student a chance to practice their newly acquired skills.
