6010 java programming version 6
- 1. Java Programming Version 6.0 Course Summary Description This course teaches programming in the Java language -- i.e. the Java Standard Edition platform. It is intended for programmers with experience in languages other than Java, but who may or may not have any previous Java experience. It focuses on procedural and structured coding skills first, and then offers meticulous, in-depth coverage of object-oriented concepts and how to apply them to Java software design and development. The latter part of the course moves from these basic skills into key parts of the Java SE Core API, including collections, logging, streams, and object serialization. A final chapter introduces automated unit-testing practices using JUnit. Objectives At the end of this course, students will be able to: • Learn to program effectively in the Java • Implement and use inheritance and language. polymorphism, including interfaces and • Understand the Java software architecture, abstract classes. and the design decisions which make Java • Design appropriate exception handling into software portable, efficient, secure and robust. Java methods, and use the logging API • Learn how to configure a simple Java appropriately. development environment. • Understand the structure of streams in Java, • Know the grammar, data types and flow and learn how to use streams to manage file I/ control constructs of the Java language for O. simple procedural programming. • Learn how to use Java Serialization to • Understand Java as a purely object-oriented internalize and externalize potentially complex language, and implement software as systems graphs of objects. of classes. • Build unit tests for Java classes using JUnit. Topics • The Java Environment • Collections • Language Fundamentals • Exception Handling and Logging • Data Types • Inner Classes • Flow Control • The Java Streams Model • Object-Oriented Software • Working with Files • Classes and Objects • Advanced Stream Techniques • Inheritance and Polymorphism in Java • Java Serialization • Using Classes Effectively • Automated Unit Testing with JUnit • nterfaces and Abstract Classes Audience Students should have experience in the following programming languages C and C++ Visual Basic, ASP and other Web-scripting languages. Prerequisites No prior Java experience is required, but students must be experienced programmers in another third-generation (high- level) language.
