Java Programming - Introduction |
OverviewIntensive and hands-on, the course emphasizes becoming productive quickly as a Java™ application developer. This course quickly covers the Java language syntax and then moves into the object-oriented features of the language. Students will then learn the I/O streams and collections API packages. This course is current to Java 7 and uses the Eclipse IDE. Audience Programmers moving to object-oriented programming using Java. Prerequisites Programming experience in C, C++ or C#® is required.
