This course begins by describing the core syntax of the Java language while also exposing students to object-oriented programming concepts. After establishing this essential foundation, the class then covers other crucial topics like exception handling, packaging, and when to use arrays versus collections. In addition, you learn how to use critical Java APIs for I/O, database access and graphical user interface development.

Audience

Students with basic progtamming skills.
