Description

Objective:

The course objective is to get you started with Java and help you to become an accomplished Java developer. The course begins by exploring the roots and the significant features of Java, so you can gain a solid foundation with step-by-step hands-on code examples using JShell. You will also take a deep dive into the advanced features of Java, like exception handling, Generics, Lambdas, and Reflection. Next, the course focuses on building jar files for Java Libraries. Finally, you will learn database connectivity with Java, as well as how to build web applications and web services in Java.

Learning Outcomes:

  • examine various control structures in Java and control the flow of code execution in your program based on the value of variables or the outcome of operations
  • map relationships using inheritance and interfaces
  • handle errors with exceptions
  • explore arrays and the Java Collection framework
  • work with nested classes and lambda expressions
  • use the reflection technique for runtime inspection
  • build JAR files for Java libraries
  • explore object serialization and JSON parsing in Java
  • connect and query databases with JDBC
  • explore some of the significant features of Java and gain a solid foundation on the characteristics and use cases of the Java programming language
  • model entities in Java using classes and objects
  • explore and write programs with interactive Java using JShell
  • parameterize types using generics in Java
  • examine HTTP requests in Java
  • build web applications with JSP
  • build web services with Java.
