Training Course Summary:

There's currently no course available for this part-number



The Java Technology Fast Track Program I (non-inclusive) course is designed to teach experienced developers all the topics covered in Sun's core Java technology classes: Java Programming Language (SL-275) and Java Programming Language Workshop (SL-285). Combining what would normally take ten days (two weeks) to complete, this five-day, twelve hour per day bootcamp training event is designed to immerse an experienced developer in the structure, syntax, design and development of the Java programming language.

Additionally, this program is designed to cover all the topics found on the Sun Certified Programmer for Java 2 Platform certification exam (this test is the cornerstone of the industry initiative JCert Java technology certification program) as well as the Sun Certified Developer for Java 2 Platform certification exam. Students receive two exam vouchers ($300 value) so they may take the exams. Please note that this does not include the fee for the programming assignment associated with the Sun Certified Developer for Java 2 Platform certification.

Finally, to complement the Java Technology Fast Track Program, each attendee also receives the Java Programming Language web-based course (WJB-275-365) ($350 value).

The program is a 5-day bootcamp held in a Sun training center. Your registration includes five 12-hour days of top notch Sun instruction and continental breakfast. Does not include lodging, meals or other ammenities of the inclusive fast track deliveries held at hotel locations.
