Marakana – Java Fundamentals and Advanced

Advanced Java™ Training course provides you with advanced skills for programming in Java language.

This course delves deeper into the data structures, file input and output features, exception handing, object oriented design and analysis, object serialization, database connectivity with JDBC, multi-threaded programming, and networking capabilities of Java.

Upon completion, you will be able to understand, design, and develop complex Java-based applications.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of Advanced Java™ Training course, you will be able to:

Use reflection to examine objects at runtime and properly compare objects for equality.
Handle errors in your program by writing exception handlers.
Create and manipulate arrays and collections.
Read and write files using the java.io package.
Serialize objects using object serialization.
Write multi-threaded programs and synchronize threads.
Access data from relational databases using JDBC. Perform basic network communication using sockets.

Audience

You should take Advanced Java™ Training course if you are interested in learning more about the Java programming language in order to learn advanced programming techniques and concepts.
