Overview
Java has gained rapid acceptance as the cross-platform alternative to C++ for application development. Similar in syntax to C++, Java further simplifies and accelerates the development of robust, platform-independent applications.
This hands-on course capitalises on your existing C++ knowledge to accelerate your development as a proficient Java programmer. You gain a solid understanding of the Java language and runtime environment, and the extensive class libraries available with Java Standard Edition version 8 (JSE8).
Objectives
On successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Appreciate the differences between C++ and Java
- Write, compile and execute Java programs using JSE8
- Build robust object-oriented applications using Java
- Create applications and applets using Java class libraries
- Develop cross-platform graphical user interfaces
- Perform I/O using Java stream classes
- Access local and remote databases using JDBC
- Interface to code written in other languages
Audience
This course is designed for programmers, engineers, analysts and managers migrating to Java from C++.
Prerequisites
A working knowledge of C++ programming and object-oriented concepts, up to the level covered in our C++ Programming course, is assumed. Experience of Internet technologies and networking in general would be helpful.
