This course teaches programming in the Java language the Java 2 Standard or J2SE platform. It is intended for students with previous Java experience or training, who already know the fundamentals of the Java architecture and basic procedural programming. This course provides in-depth coverage of object-oriented concepts and how to apply them to Java software design and development. The latter part of the course moves key parts of the J2SE Core API, including collections, exception-handling, logging, streams, and object serialization.
This revision of the course targets the 5.0 version of the Java language and Core API. (Java 5.0 is also known as Java 1.5, as this revision effects a transition to a new numbering scheme for the Java environment.) It has been rebuilt thoroughly, not only to cover new 5.0 language features, but also to comb out old programming techniques in favor of new ones. A special appendix to the course addresses practical issues of compatibility between 1.4 and 5.0 code, compilers, and runtimes, and discusses migration strategies.
What you will learn:
How to program effectively in the Java language.
Understanding Java as a purely object-oriented language, and implementing software as systems of classes.
Implementing and using inheritance and polymorphism, including interfaces and abstract classes.
Designing appropriate exception handling into Java methods.
Using the standard logging API to write diagnostic information at runtime.
Understanding the structure of streams in Java, and how to use streams to manage file I/O.
How to use Java Serialization to internalize and externalize potentially complex graphs of objects.
Prerequisites: Students must be able to write, compile, test, and debug simple Java programs, using structured programming techniques, strong data types, and flow-control constructs such as conditionals and loops. JAV 102 is ideal preparation for this course.
