Overview
Overview
The Fundamentals of the Java Programming Language course provides students with an excellent choice for beginning to learn programming using the Java programming language. This course is intended for students with little or no programming experience. The course teaches the significance of object-oriented programming, the keywords and constructs of the Java programming language, and the steps required to create simple Java technology programs. Students taking this course can receive a solid basis in the Java programming language upon which to base continued work and training. The course features the Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (Java SE 6) platform, and uses the Java SE Development Kit 6 (JDK 6) product.
Audience
Students who can benefit from this course are individuals, who have basic mathematical, logical, and analytical problem-solving skills and who want to begin learning the Java programming language.
Objective
Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:
-
-
- Demonstrate knowledge of Java technology, the Java programming language, and the product life cycle
- Use various Java programming language constructs to create several Java technology applications
- Use decision and looping constructs and methods to dictate program flow
- Implement intermediate Java technology programming and object-oriented (OO) concepts in Java technology programs
-
