Java Training Schedule

The Fundamentals of the Java™ course serves as an introduction to the Java language and object oriented programming (OOP) in Java. The course provides students with the skills for analyzing, designing, developing, and troubleshooting Java applications.

The participants learn the syntax and the constructs of the Java programming language, the concepts behind object-oriented programming (OOP) with Java, packaging, Java documentation, exception handling, Java libraries (I/O, utilities, networking, JDBC, etc.), concurrent programming with Java threads, and design patterns in Java.

Marakana Spring/Hibernate Training is a 5-day course that teaches you how to develop enterprise Java web applications with the Spring, Hibernate, and Spring Security (Acegi) open-source frameworks. The class is designed to run as a hands-on tutorial-style with more than 50% of time being devoted to writing code.

The main goal of this course is to set to students on the right path of developing Java web applications on a best-of-breed software stack (Spring and Hibernate) while utilizing time-tested best-practices. While we don't skip on the theory, students focus most of their energy on why they should use a particular technique, and how to best apply it.

The NetBeans Platform is a mature open sourced Swing framework for building general rich client applications. The platform is a "generic application", that is, a runtime which can be used to develop desktop applications. NetBeans IDE is one example of this type of application, but there are many others.

One of the key distinctions of software built upon the NetBeans Platform is modularity: reuse in the large. Such software is designed as logical sets of macro-components which integrate through well-defined API contracts. Writing modular applications brings some enhancements to programming in standard Java, particularly in the ability to have Java classes which are only public to other classes within the archive they reside in. This has a number of beneficial effects on development: in particular, the ability to develop cleaner, simpler APIs by being able to fully conceal implementation from foreign code, while retaining type-safety.

Delivered by Eppleton, a certified NetBeans Platform consultancy in Munich, Germany, the NetBeans Platform Certified Training shows you how to develop desktop applications on the NetBeans Platform from the ground up. On the first day, we start with modularity: why does it make sense to create modular applications? How and why do we isolate modules and how do isolated modules communicate with each other? On the second day, we dive into the Swing components provided by the NetBeans Platform, picking up from the window system discussed at the end of the first day, continuining with nodes, explorer views, and the widgets provided by the visual library. On the third day, we learn how to provide menu items and toolbar buttons and then we tour through the most important remaining APIs. We wrap up by discussing how modular applications are distributed and how to distribute plugins in the middle of release cycles, either as new features or patches.

Let's admit it: JSF 1.x was a pain in the neck. Sure, it was the only major Web app framework that was part of the Java EE spec, and it had lots of great third-part component libraries. But, for ordinary developers it was tedious and cumbersome to use. However, JSF 2.0 is a dramatic improvement in almost every way: more powerful, much simpler to use, has integrated Ajax support, and is better from top to bottom. This course will give a thorough introduction to JSF 2.0 including annotations, defaults, Ajax functionality, page navigation, validation, event handling, page templating with facelets, composite components, and lots more.
