Introduction to Java using IBM Rational Application Developer v6 (JA3560GB) - 5 Days

Description
This course introduces programmers to the Java language using lectures, demonstrations, and extensive labs. It covers object-oriented programming, Java syntax, key Java classes and interfaces such as collections, exceptions, and I/O. The course also introduces JDBC, JNDI, and DataSources as ways of accessing relational databases.

Audience
Appropriate audiences for this course would include entry-level Java programmers and programmers skilled in other languages, such as RPG, COBOL or C

Prerequisites
Ideally, students should have some experience in structured programming, and should have some knowledge of object-oriented concepts. Experience using relational databases would also be an asset.

Objectives
On completion you will be able to:

• Use Java syntax to develop simple applications in Java
  
• Describe the Java object model and its implementation
  
• Outline some of the important classes and interfaces available in Java, and be able to use them, including:
  - Primitive wrapper classes
  - Classes in the Collections Framework
  - Utility classes
  - I/O classes
  - Threads
  - Exceptions
  
• Develop simple Java bean software components
  
• Use JDBC to access and manipulate data in a relational database and know how to code for a DataSource using JNDI
  
• Use IBM Rational Application Developer to develop and debug Java programs
