Java SE 6 Programming Fundamentals

Product Description

Overview

In this 5-day instructor-led class, students learn how to develop applications using the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 6 programming language.

The class begins with an introduction to the Java programming language & a review of the principles of object-oriented (OO) development before focusing on how to create object-oriented applications in Java. The class provides students with an overview of the Java language syntax, including packages, classes, methods, variables, conditional statements, & control flow. Students then learn about the role of inheritance & interfaces in Java, how to apply design patterns in their application design, how to create & handle exceptions, & how to refactor code. In addition, this class covers various new features of Java SE 5 & Java SE 6, such as generics, autoboxing, & annotations.

Students also learn about the different Java application programming interfaces (APIs), focusing on the APIs most commonly used in real-world Java applications such as Collections, Input/ Output (I/O), Threads, & other utility classes.

Hands-on lab exercises are provided throughout the class, allowing students to explore the Java language & reinforcing the concepts covered in the lectures. In the labs, students write & debug Java code & work with the Java APIs by using the Java development tools provided in Eclipse & IBM Rational Application Developer. These development tools include the tools used to write & execute Java code, the integrated debugger, the refactoring tools, & the JUnit unit testing tools.

Students have the choice of performing the lab exercises in either Eclipse V3.5 or IBM Rational Application Developer V7.5.
