Upcoming Advanced Java Programming

This Java Fundamentals class is delivered for private groups onsite at your offices or a location of your choice. It can also be delivered via the Internet for geographically distributed staff.

Advanced Java Programming Class Overview

Reference Library

This course provides advanced training in developing software using the Java Platform, Standard Edition, or Java SE. It is intended for students with solid experience in structured and object-oriented Java programming, including use of the Collections API and exception handling.

The course covers several general-purpose topics: using and building generic types, writing multi-threaded applications, the Reflection API and annotations, and network programming using sockets. It combines nicely with various other courses in the Java curriculum, each of which is also "advanced Java" of some sort: JDBC, secure coding, Swing GUI programming, design patterns, and so on.

Advanced Java Programming Class Goals

  • Make effective use of Java generic types.
  • Write multi-threaded Java applications.
  • Use the Reflection API for highly generic tasks, discovery, or code-generation.
  • Use standard annotations and develop custom annotations to express meta-data in Java source files.
  • Communicate between processes using network sockets.
