5 Days course

Language: English

This course is only available on request!!

DESCRIPTION
This course exposes the student to Advanced Java features such as JavaBeans, Servlet Programming, the Java Database Connectivity, Remote Method Invocation, and Swing.
Other major topics in this course include Network Programming Serialization, Properties, Security, the Collection Classes and Architectures.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
distinguish between the various phases of construction of objects;
choose the correct data structures from the Java Collections classes;
extend appropriate I/O classes in order to create a new I/O class
distinguish among various thread problems and provide the correct programming solution;
create a Java Bean Component and execute it within the BeanBox;
write TCP/IP Client Server applications using the sockets;
execute methods on a remote object and use the results that are returned from the method;
write Java Servlets to implement HTML form processing;
write Java applications using the JDBC to make database independent queries; and
use many of the superior capabilities of the Swing components

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This course is intended for programmers who have been programming in Java and who wish to write programs in Java using many of the advanced Java features.

ASSUMED KNOWLEDGE
Students should have completed a beginning Java course or have been programming in Java for at least three - six months
