Java Programming

The course Java Programming Fundamentals covers the fundamentals of programming in Java based on version 8 of the Java platform.

Java Syntax

By means of successive exercises in a case study, participants learn to program with the variables, data types, operators and control flow constructions of the Java language.

Classes and Objects

The course then discusses object oriented concepts such as class, object, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. Attention is paid to errors and exception handling and it is discussed how Java software is organized in packages.

Multiple Threads

Also the split of a program into different subtasks with threads and the synchronization of these threads is the subject in the course.

Generics

Parameterized types, generics, and their use in the Collection Framework are also part of the course program. Optional modules, if time permits it, are access to databases with JDBC and Java Beans.

OCA Certification

This course is a good preparation for the Java 8 OCA , Oracle Certified Associate, exam. In combination with the Advanced Java Programming course this course also prepares for the Java 8 OCP, Oracle Certified Professional, exam.

Audience Course Java Programming

The course Java Programming Fundamentals is intended for developers who want to learn Java Programming and other persons who want to understand Java code.

Prerequisites Course Java Programming

Basic knowledge of and experience with programming is recommended. Principles of Object Oriented Programming using Java are explained. Prior knowledge of this is beneficial but not necessary for the understanding.

Realization Training Java Programming

The theory is treated on the basis of presentations and is interspersed with exercises. Demos are used to clarify the theory. The course uses Java 8. The course material is in English. The course times are from 9.30 up and to 16.30.

Certification Java Programming

Participants receive an official certificate Java Programming Fundamentals after successful completion of the course.
