Summary

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 Use the JDBC API for database access Take advantage of the Java tooling that is available with the programming environment being used in the class Specific Java 9 features that are covered in the course include: The Modular system (Project Jigsaw) Private methods in interfaces
