Training Course Summary:

The Java Programming Language Workshop course provides students with practical experience in designing a vertical solution for a distributed, multitier application. Students use graphical user interface (GUI) design principles and network-communications capabilities to code a functional Java application that interacts with a networked database server. The significant amount of lab time illustrates the workshop nature of this course.

Pre-Requisites:

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

Develop applications using the Java programming language
Understand basic Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams
Understand basic Structured Query Language (SQL) statements
Understand how to implement interfaces and handle Java programming exceptions
Use object-oriented programming techniques
Understand GUI design
Understand basic Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) communication
Program with sockets or streams

Who Should Attend:

Students who can benefit from this course are programmers already familiar with the basic structure and syntax of the Java programming language who need to further expand this knowledge to develop complex, production-level applications.

Completing this course also assists individuals preparing for the Sun Certified Developer for the Java 2 Platform examination.
