SEDULITY CERTIFIED JAVA- J2EE APPLICATIONS

Course Descriptions

A powerful object-oriented language with cross-platform capabilities, Java provides reduced development times and lower cost of maintenance to many businesses. Java is now used in 50% of e-business applications, and is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for creating web-enabled applications.

This course introduces the Java language, beginning with the concepts of object orientation upon which it is founded. All of the main language features are covered, as are a range of the standard packages which provide additional functionality in Java, such as networking and user interface development.
Who would benefit

Developers, application designers, project managers, and those wishing to follow the Enterprise Java or XML and Java courses would find this course valuable.
Prerequisites

This course is best suited to delegates with some experience of programming. No prior object oriented experience is assumed, although a familiarity with object orientation and web technologies (such as HTML) would be beneficial.
