Topics include:


Elements of the Java Language

    - Native Data Types, Declaration, Scope
    - Java Operators - Expressions
    - Java Function Calls

Classes in Java

    - Classes, Objects, Variables
    - Class Definitions, Constructors
    - Class Variables, Methods, Overloading

Arrays and Strings

    - Java Arrays, String Objects

Inheritance

    - Effects and Protected Access
    - Overriding Methods
    - Abstract Classes Interfaces

    - The Applet Class, Events
    - Images and Audio Clips, Animations,   Threads

The Abstract Windowing Toolkit
(AWT)

    - AWT Components, Class Hierarchy
    - Standalone Windows Application

Exceptions

        - Java Exceptions, Creating an Exception           Class
         - The Throw and Finally Statements

I/O Statements

    - Java I/O Hierarchy
    - File I/O, Memory Streams
    - Buffered I/O

Java API

    - Cloning an Object, The Vector Class
    - Object Wrapper Classes
    - Class Stack and Class Thread

On completion of this module students will have a firm foundation in Java and Object Oriented Programming, understand where Java is best suited as the programming language and be prepared for the advanced topics in Module 2 of this program.

 

Module 2 - Advanced Java Programming

Using Java as the programming language, this module covers advanced use of Java demonstrating database connectivity (JDBC), developing components with Java Beans, network aware applications, multithreaded applications, inter process communication and Java security.
