Java Fundamentals (classroom training) in San Francisco by AcademyX

Training Provided by AcademyX Java Fundamentals is taught by AcademyX, (www.academyx.com, 415-392-8024), the San Francisco's only Internet-focused, instructor-led training company in the Bay Area. Java enhances productivity by allowing the inheritance of methods and properties from the well-organized Java Class Library. Students will build Graphical User Interfaces and handle various events. Students will explore multi-threading and how it can improve the performance of applications. Students will also use many methods of the Graphics class to draw shapes.
Lesson objectives help students become comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to evaluate learning. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

List the benefits and roles of the Java programming language.
Utilize primitive datatypes, variables, constants, literals, and methods.
Implement classes and properties, and understand abstraction and encapsulation.
Differentiate between an application and an applet, and pass parameters to both.
Use inheritance, interfaces, packages, modifiers, as well as archive files.
Use operators and expressions to perform calculations and typecasting.
Control the flow of programs with branching and looping.
Explore the packages and interfaces in the Java Class Library.
Explore the java.lang package and use methods from the String and Math classes.
Change fonts and colors in the display; use Graphics and Image classes to draw to the display.
Handle key and mouse events.
Explore the applet architecture, detect and process errors, and explore threads.
Explore the AWT package and build a GUI interface.
