Java for Non-OO Programmers
|
Duration:
5 days |
| Participants: Programmers (especially mainframe programmers) for whom this is their first object-oriented language. |
|
Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to:
- Create intermediate-level Java programs using compiled statements and some classes in the core API and the AWT. - Use Java documentation to learn additional packages available with Java. |
|
Overview:
- This course provides a detailed introduction to Java, including thorough presentation of classes and objects. It is especially designed to give mainframe programmers a solid foundation in object-oriented concepts and how to implement these concepts in JAVA. - Students learn to use some classes of the Java core API and the Java AWT. They also create classes and class hierarchies of their own. Over 150 complete programs with input and output, or GUI display, illustrate how to use each topic. |
| Prerequisites: Programming in any language. |
| Format: Lecture and discussion (50%) with programming exercises (50%). |
|
