  • Use various Java programming language constructs to create several Java technology applications.
  • Use decision and looping constructs and methods to dictate program flow.
  • Perform basic error handling for your Java technology programs.
  • Implement intermediate Java programming and object-oriented (OO) concepts in Java technology programs.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of Java technology and the Java programming language.

Course Objectives :

  • Develop classes and describe how to declare a class
  • Analyze a business problem in order to recognize objects and operations that form the building blocks of the Java program design
  • Define the term
  • Demonstrate Java programming syntax
  • Write a simple Java program that compiles and runs successfully
  • Declare and initialize variables
  • List several primitive data types
  • Instantiate an object and effectively use object reference variables
  • Use operators, loops, and decision constructs
  • Declare and instantiate Arrays and ArrayLists and be able to iterate through them
  • Describe the benefits of using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
  • List and describe several key features of the Java technology
  • Declare a method with arguments and return values
  • Use inheritance to declare and define a subclass of an existing superclass
  • Describe how errors are handled in a Java program
  • Describe examples of how Java is used in applications, as well as consumer products
