SL-275-SE6 Java Programming Language

Students who can benefit from this course are programmers who are interested in adding the Java programming language to their list of skills and students who are preparing for the Sun Certified Programmer for Java examination.

Delegates will learn how to

Create Java technology applications that leverage the object-oriented features of the Java language, such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism
Execute a Java technology application from the command line
Use Java data types and expressions
Use Java flow control constructs
Use arrays and other data collections
Implement error-handling techniques using exception handling
Create an event-driven graphical user interface (GUI) using Swing components: panels, buttons, labels, text fields, and text areas
Implement input/output (I/O) functionality to read from and write to data and text files and understand advanced I/O streams
Create a simple Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) networked client that communicates with a server through sockets
Create multithreaded programs

The Java Programming Language course provides students with information about the syntax of the Java programming language; object-oriented programming with the Java programming language; creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs), exceptions, file input/output (I/O), and threads; and networking.

Programmers familiar with object-oriented concepts can learn how to develop Java technology applications. The course features the Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (Java SE 6) platform, and utilizes the Java SE Development Kit 6 (JDK 6) product. The students perform the course lab exercises using the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE) 5.5.
