JAV202 – Introduction to Object Analysis and Design (OOAD) and Java Development Using WSAD/RAD (5 days)

Course Description

This comprehensive 5 day course introduces the programmer to Java programming fundamentals and includes the core Java classes, I/O, collections and debugging techniques. We use WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD), or Rational Application Developer (RAD), for code development, management and debugging. This course is code intensive and involves extensive lab exercises.

This course thoroughly covers the fundamentals of Java programming including the JDK and command line interface, basic language elements, arrays, flow-control, exception handling, and basic data structures. Java applets are only briefly covered in this course.

Each topic is completely covered. Numerous examples are provided for each section. Students develop working applications in the lab exercises.

Topics covered include:

Understanding the basics of object technology Understanding the fundamentals of classes, encapsulation, inheritance, objects, polymorphism Understanding Use Cases and how they are effectively used Understand programming from UML artifacts Understand the basics of design patterns and the MVC Data and variable types Class definitions and instances Arrays and strings Class inheritance I/O Operations

Exception Handling Date and calendar Java program structure and deployment WSAD/RAD Overview The basics Architecture of WSAD/RAD Java Fundamentals using WSAD/RAD Run and Debug and Application Object Oriented Programming with Java using WSAD/RAD Unit Testing with WSAD/RAD Source Control Management Packaging Applications
