Java has rapidly become the language of choice for platform independent implementations. This course provides a general introduction to programming, data structures and object-oriented programming. The syntax and semantics of the Java™ language are addressed, as well as related topics which include object-oriented programming concepts, terminology, and notation. This class requires the Java 2 Platform Development Kit, Standard Edition.
Use the input/output stream class to create, read, write, and update files.
Implement searching and sorting capabilities into a Java application.
Determine how Java programming is used in web-based applications.
Files and Streams
Use Graphics2D class methods to produce and manipulate basic shapes and lines.
Use the file access and file processing methods to manage data.
Graphics
Implement a GUI using Swing components to allow user interaction with a Java application.
Discuss the use of GUIs.
Object-Oriented Programming
Demonstrate how to declare, create, initialize, and manipulate arrays.
