Java SE 7: Develop Rich Client Applications (CO-67230)

Course details

Introduction

This five-day instructor-led course takes participants through the process of designing a rich client application using Java SE 7 and Java FX 2. Using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern and a case study approach, participants analyse, design, and develop the user interface, connect the user interface to a database, and finally connect the user interface to a RESTful web service. The user interface is created using key Java FX components including layouts, UI controls, data structures like ObservableList, charts, smart tables, CSS, and JavaFX concurrency libraries. Participants learn to add two tier and three tier features to their application by connecting to a database using the Java Persistence API (JPA). Finally, they learn to connect their application to a RESTful web service using JAX-RS and the Jersey API.
