advanced Java programming
course overview
This course covers advanced object oriented techniques and algorithms with Java. It is an extremely practical course, developed and taught by consultants with many years' experience in OO design. When taught at your site, this modular course can be adapted to your situation and requirements. Included in the course are numerous examples and exercises, and comes with a reference text. After the course, we are able to offer reviews and mentoring to guide you in making the best use of the techniques.
Duration: 4 days
objectives
- gain competence in Java's component model — Java Beans
- learn how to dynamically invoke and configure components
- develop essential skills to migrate components to a distributed environment
- know the pitfalls and solutions of distributed and concurrent programming
- be able to use relevant Java design patterns and idioms to solve common problems
target audience
The course is suitable for Java developers.
prerequisites
Ideally this training should be preceded by the course: design and develop Java applications.
