Summary
The Java 2 platform provides an architecture-neutral means to write object-oriented applications that scale well over time, have a shorter development cycle, and have improved maintainability. Java comes with a rich code library.
This Java programming hands-on course provides a solid introduction to object-oriented programming concepts, the Java language, the Java run-time and development environments and the code library–the Application Programming Interface (API). You will learn basic Java syntax, constructs and conventions, become familiar with the API documentation, understand Java’s implementation of the OO paradigm, and apply your newly acquired knowledge by writing a number of simple programs. After taking this course, you should have the ability to read, understand and analyze most Java code, and the skill to begin developing simple Java code.
