About this Course
This 5 day instructor-led course provides practice and understanding of Java programming. At the end of the course the student will be versed in Java well enough to begin developing or maintaining most simple Java systems. The student will be able to discern good programming practices from bad, correct syntax errors, detect and correct logic errors, create object-oriented code structures, manipulate files and databases, and know where to find answers for programming problems. Ultimately the goal of Java programming fundamentals is to give students enough of an understanding of Java so that they can become productive junior Java developers.
Java programming fundamentals will cover many of the Java keywords and their application as well as current industry coding idioms. The course goes well beyond simple programming by practicing object-oriented coding and SOLID programming principles.
The course is structured by combining short lectures with exercises. The exercises are more than simply following a pre-determined script but involve writing code from scratch, critiquing code, working in teams, modifying moderately complex systems, and exploring various code support websites.
