Java 8 With Maven

Course Overview:

Intensive and hands-on, the course emphasizes becoming productive quickly as a Java application developer. This course quickly covers the Java language syntax and then moves into the object-oriented features of the language. As a participant you will be able to create basic applications using the Java 8 programming language.

The participants will also be able to describe object-oriented concepts, object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts, and Java platforms and technologies. This course will use Eclipse as an IDE.

Course Objectives:

Participants will learn how to:

• Write, compile and execute Java programs
• Build robust applications using Java’s object-oriented features
• Create robust applications using Java class libraries

Pre-requisites:

• The course assumes knowledge of programming.

Target Audience:

This course is meant for programmers who wish to move to object-oriented programming using Java. This course is designed for participants who are looking for an entry into an application development or a software project management career using Java technologies.
