JVFUN - Java Fundamentals

Introduction

Elements of this syllabus are subject to change.

This five day hands-on course covers the Java language syntax and then moves into the object-oriented features of the language for the programmer new to the Java language. These fundamentals are then combined with several of Java's provided API packages, such as I/O streams, collections, Swing GUI programming, threads, and accessing a database with JDBC. The final sections of the course extend the student's knowledge on more complex topics such as performance tuning, best practices for writing efficient applications, network sockets, regular expressions and an brief overview of the J2EE platform.
