The Fundamentals of the Java Programming Language course provides students with an excellent choice for beginning to learn programming using the Java programming language. This course is intended for students with little or no programming experience. The course teaches the significance of object-oriented programming, the keywords and constructs of the Java programming language, and the steps required to create simple Java technology programs. Students taking this course can receive a solid basis in the Java programming language upon which to base continued work and training. The course features the Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (Java SE 6) platform, and uses the Java SE Development Kit 6 (JDK 6) product.

who can benefit

Students who can benefit from this course are individuals who have basic mathematical, logical, and analytical problem-solving skills and who want to begin learning the Java programming language. This includes technical writers, web developers, technical managers, and individuals with a technical, non-programming background, such as system administrators. This course is also appropriate for novice programmers and those programmers who prefer to start learning the Java programming language at an introductory level. However, individuals are encouraged to have had some programming experience, whether with a scripting language, such as Perl, or a third-generation language (such as Basic or C) prior to attending this course.

prerequisites

To succeed fully in this course, students should be able to:

	Create programs using a procedural language, such as C, or a scripting language, such as Perl
	Create and edit text files using a text editor
	Use a World Wide Web (WWW) browser
	Solve logic problems
	Describe the concept of a variable
	Execute commands using a command-line interface

skills gained

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

	Demonstrate knowledge of Java technology, the Java programming language, and the product life cycle
	Use various Java programming language constructs to create several Java technology applications
	Use decision and looping constructs and methods to dictate program flow
	Implement intermediate Java technology programming and object-oriented (OO) concepts in Java technology programs
