Java Programming

This course has been designed for up to five days of Java Programming classroom learning. The student will build applications and applets from the bottom up, rather than using prewritten objects. This facilitates a deeper understanding of the concepts used in object-oriented programming. When students complete this course, they will know how to create and modify simple Java language applications and applets, and they will have the tools to create more complex examples. Students will also have a fundamental knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts that will be useful whether they continue to learn more about the Java language or go on to other object-oriented languages, such as C++ and Visual Basic.

On completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Describe the basic and object-oriented programming concepts, the Java platform, and types of Java programs, as well as how to install and configure the Java SDK.
• Use constants, variables, and various data types.
• Create and use methods, classes, and instantiate objects from classes.
• Define blocks and scope of a variable, overload methods and constructors, and work with constants.

Target audience

Students should have familiarity with personal computers and the use of the keyboard and mouse. No programming language experience is required.
