1. Java 6 Programming Essentials using Helios Eclipse
Course Summary
Description
This course will introduce the student to the Java programming language using the Java EE Helios Eclipse.
Through hands-on exercises, the student will become familiar with the Java syntax and the object oriented
approach that this language utilizes. It is based on the new Java 1.6
Objectives
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
• Use the desired Java EE Helios Eclipse proficiently
• Understand the Java language syntax
• Create, compile, run and debug Java applications
• Manage the Java files
• Translate a class diagram into Java code (and vice-versa)
• Use the Collections framework
• Familiar with Using the Java API
Topics
• Basic Java syntax (data types, operators, control statement)
• Object-oriented programming in Java
• UML notation - Class Diagram
• Using Collections Framework
• Using Exceptions
• Navigating Sun’s API documentation
• Generics and Collections Framework
• Varargs
Audience
This course is designed for new Java programmers who have not previously programmed in an object-oriented
language. The course can also run in RAD, Java EE Helios Eclipse, WebLogic Workshop, and JDeveloper.
Prerequisites
The student must be familiar object oriented programming and with basic programming concepts with prior
programming experience in at least one language (COBOL, Visual Basic, C, etc.).
