What does this workshop cover?

In this accelerated, five-day course on Java 1.1 and its fundamental APIs you learn how to build GUIs with classes in the AWT package and how to perform smooth animation using Threads. You will also learn how to use streams, multimedia techniques, exception handling, networking and many other classes in the various packages. When you complete this course, you will be able to design and build portable, web-savvy applications and applets that are far more flexible, maintainable and easier to develop than those based on older software technologies.

Approximately 40% of this course is devoted to programming assignments. Each student receives a student course manual, a text book, and complete source code solutions to the exercises.

The Ultimate Java Programming Workshop is available as a 4-day course for C++ Developers. Those who do not have a C++ background should consider our 5-day Ultimate Java Programming Workshop (for C Developers).

Why is this workshop important?

Java is a new object-oriented language, and is considered by many to be a simplified and improved C++. It's easier to learn than C++, and it's biggest benefit is that programs written in Java are more portable than programs written in any other language. And, with the explosion of the Web, Java can be used to write mini-applications (applets) that are instantly installed and run within a browser, removing the costly installation and distribution requirements of programs written in other languages. Java is a full-featured, secure, robust, object-oriented language that can be used to develop enterprise-wide applications. Gaining an expert understanding of this language gives you a real competitive advantage.

What will I learn?

In addition to learning the advantages of working in the Java language, you will learn how to:

• Write, compile, debug, and execute Java applications and applets.
• Use exception handling to create industrial strength applications.
• Understand Java’s object-oriented features, including packages, interfaces, abstract classes, constructor and finializer methods, dynamic method binding, and more.
• Use classes from the Java AWT class library to create interactive GUIs. Use layout managers to arrange visual components. Learn how to nest layout managers. Use various components including buttons, lists, labels, text areas, text fields, menus, dialogue boxes, checkboxes, choices, panels, frames, containers, and more.
• Handle events in both Java 1.02 and Java 1.1. Learn how to override handleEvent() and and action(). Learn how to use Event Listeners and Event Sources.
• Use threads to increase an application’s performance and functionality. Learn thread synchronization, thread states, portable thread scheduling, and identifying data that is shared between threads.
• Perform smooth animation by employing clipping regions, double buffering, and overriding update() and paint().
• Use classes in the java.io package to read and write to files and the console. Use filter and pipe classes for processing streams. Learn how to list directories.
• Use classes in the java.net package to write networking applications and applets using sockets, datagrams, and the URL classes. Build a multi-threaded networking server. Learn how to write a client which interacts with sendmail or a web server.
• Pass arguments to applets from HTML. Learn about the applet lifecycle and the context of an applet. Make applets interact with the browser. Run an applet within an application. Communicate between named and un-named applets.
• Use the wrapper classes of primitive data types. Use Vectors and other collection classes found in java.util. Use Strings and StringBuffers. Draw with the Graphics class. Use other classes to change fonts and colors. Override clone(), and more!

Who should attend?

• Developers who wish to start writing advanced Java applications or applets.
• Technical Managers whose projects use Java; IS managers with web site projects.

Those without object-oriented and C++ experience should consider our 5-day Ultimate Java Programming Workshop (for C Developers) or our Ultimate Java Programming Workshop (for Non-C developers.)
