Course Description

Welcome to Java 2 Programming Language Second Edition. Now that you have taken Intro to Programming, you have a solid foundation of programming concepts. This course expands upon those basic concepts and covers the essential elements of the Java programming language. This course offers you a job related, basic approach to successful Java programming. Finally, it provides all the basic skills required to develop functionally sound and efficient Java applications.

Course Objective: You will create simple Java applications. You will discover how control moves through a program. Next, you will explore the Java Class Library and how to use this information to programming more effectively. You will discover how to create class and program with objects. You will handle exceptions and create threads to create memory efficiencies. Finally, you will use Java collections and the Swing interface to complete your Java application.

Target Student: This course is designed for an individual who wants to learn the syntax and structure of the Java programming language and components of the J2SE (standard edition) class library, as well as prepare for the Sun Java Programmer 1.4 certification exam.

Prerequisites: To ensure your success, we recommend you first take the following course or have equivalent knowledge:

  • Intro to Programming
  • Hardware Requirements


Performance-Based Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • Create, compile, and run a simple Java application.
  • Control program flow by writing code to react to specific situations and produce correct results for the situation.
  • Work with the Java Class Library to instantiate objects from existing Java classes.
  • Create classes in the Java programming language.
  • Program with objects to write Java applications that are reusable, reliable, and understandable.
  • Handle exceptions to detect and manage errors while your Java application is running.
  • Create threads in your Java application to make efficient use of its resources when it is running.
  • Use collections in a Java application.
  • Develop a user interface using Swing to handle mouse and key events.
