Introduction to Java Programming

Course Aims
The aims of this Java training courses is to understand the role that Java plays on the Internet; describe the benefits and methodology of object-oriented programming; use the Java Development Kit and Symantec Café to develop Java programs; develop a Java applet to run from a Web page; use the on-line documentation and debugging tools that are available for Java; embellish a Java applet with graphics and sound; create an interactive Java applet; create a graphical user interface with Java; handle run-time exceptions.

Assumed Knowledge
The prerequisites for this training course is to have extensive experience (at least 1 year) in a standard procedural programming language, such as C, Pascal, or Basic. Experience in an object-oriented language such as C++ or Smalltalk is an advantage, but is not required. Experience in developing applications in a modern integrated development environment, such as Visual Basic, Visual C++, or Delphi. Experience in using an Internet browser. Some familiarity with HTML is an advantage, but is not required. Familiarity with the Windows 95 / Windows NT 4.0 user interface.

Course Audience
This class is designed for programmers with no Java experience who want to develop applications in Java; Web page developers who want to add Java applets to Web pages; programmers with some Java experience who want to learn how to use Symantec Café; and persons interested in evaluating the capabilities and features of Java.

This course can be found in the following categories:
