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.
