Programming in Java™ (3 modules, 120 study hours)

The course provides practical skills for object -oriented programming in Java using problem-oriented learning methodology. It includes the following modules (individualized combinations are possible):

• Core Java™ Programming (40 study hours) – introduces the principles and concepts of object-oriented programming and their practical realization in Java™. Different language constructs, implementation mechanisms, and classes implementing common data structures are explored in detail based on various problems and examples. Exception processing mechanisms and Java™ documentation conventions are also discussed.

• Java™ APIs and GUI Programming (40 study hours) – Java™ classes for file operations, serialization and printing are presented. The Swing GUI components and Model-View-Controller architecture are explored in detail based on examples and practical problems. The design of Java™ applets, Java Beans™, multi-threading and synchronization are also discussed.

• Distributed & Network Computing with Java™ (40 study hours) – network programming, sockets, TCP-IP stack of protocols, client-server model, different types of clients and servers, and their implementation in Java™ are discussed. Java Database Connectivity JDBC™ and using SQL for database manipulation are introduced. Java™ Remote Method Invocation (RMI) mechanism for building distributed applications is also practically explained.
