Description

This is a five-day, comprehensive, and hands-on training course geared for developers who have little or no prior working knowledge of object-oriented programming languages, such as those working on C, COBOL, 4GL, etc.

Objectives

Course Objectives

Students who attend Java 9 and OO Essentials will leave this course armed with the required skills to develop solid object-oriented applications written in Java, using sound coding techniques and best coding practices. Geared for developers with prior OO development experience in languages such as C#, C++ or SmallTalk, this course will teach students everything they need to become productive in essential Java programming. Working within in an engaging, hands-on learning environment, guided by our expert team, attendees will learn to:

Understand what OO programming is and what the advantages of OO are in today's world

Work with objects, classes, and OO implementations

Understand the basic concepts of OO such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction

Understand not only the fundamentals of the Java language, but also its importance, uses, strengths and weaknesses

Understand the basics of the Java language and how it relates to OO programming and the Object Model

Work with the Java 9 modular system (Project Jigsaw)

Learn to use Java exception handling features

Understand and use classes, inheritance and polymorphism

Understand and use collections, generics, autoboxing, and enumerations

Process large amount of data using Lambda expressions and the Stream API
