Overview
This accelerated hands-on workshop teaches Java programming in two days.
You'll learn object-oriented techniques, how to use the compiler and class
libraries, how to handle exceptions, and, by the end of the second day, how to
build applets.
With no fluff, theory, or history, this course gets your hands-on right away.
It focuses on the practical knowledge and survival skills you need to get
useful work done in the real world. It covers the essentials at an accelerated
pace so you can get back to your desk as quickly as possible.
Who Should Attend
If you have programming experience and need to learn Java, then this is the
course for you!
Prerequisites
Experience with any C-like programming language (C, Perl, Pascal, Ada, Algol, C++, etc.)
Outline
Classes in these packages are discussed:
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
Method
The course consists of ten chapters, each culminating in an in-depth hands-on
lab. In the lab, you are given a complete -- or nearly complete -- working Java
program that you modify or adapt in order to apply the principles discussed in
the chapter. Thus, without having to do a lot of typing, you demonstrate that you
have grasped and can use the concepts and techniques presented in the course.
The language features presented are independent for the version of the Java
Development Kit (JDK). So this course is appropriate both for JDK 1.1 and 1.2.
Recommended texts for this class:
The Java Programming Language by Ken Arnold and James Gosling (Addison Wesley).
