Java Programming
This course provides a solid understanding of the core OO and Java concepts and practices needed to create well designed Java programs. It also covers all the key OO capabilities and how to use them in Java, including material on creating well designed Java classes, using encapsulation, building more complex functionality with composition, and using inheritance to share functionality and create specialized types. It also covers more advanced concepts such as using interfaces, working with the Java Collections Framework, and overviews of accessing databases with JDBC and JPA (including labs using JPA). All labs are done using Eclipse.
