Fundamentals of Java Programming, sponsored by Sun Microsystems, provides a 70-hour introduction to Java programming, which teaches students how to use the Java language’s objectoriented technologies to solve business problems. Students will become familiar with: Java programming basics in creating classes, objects, and applications; the Java language Application Programming Interface; and Graphical User Interface applications.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will receive a Fundamentals of Java Programming Certificate of Completion. Acquired Java programming competencies include:

• Understand the history and current use of Objected oriented programming and the Java language to solve business problems.
• Understand concepts of Object, class, instance, member data/fields, member attributes/methods, and local variables.
• Understand the Java Environment and use of the Java Development kit for the creation and execution of java programs from java source files.
• Apply java language keywords, and syntax to create statements for declaring and storing java data types.
• Understand the result of operations and decision-making on java data types, using any operator or method.
• Create statements for data operations, decision-making, class definition, object constructors, method definitions and method invocation.
• Use the online documentation for the Java 2 Platform, API Specification.
• Implement the Javadoc features in their source files to document their classes.
• Write code that implements principles and design patterns of encapsulation, composition and inheritance.
• Write code to invoke overridden or overloaded methods and parental or overloaded constructors, and be able to describe the effect of invokingthese methods.
• Design and construct instances of any concrete class including normal top-level classes, inner classes, static inner classes, and anonymous inner classes.
• Write code to define, instantiate classes of the java.lang, java.util, java.awt, java.io packages.
  Develop and use packaging tools (jar).
• Install and work with Java 2 SDK.
• Setup an environment for Java applications.

Fundamentals of Java Programming prepares students for the Sun Certified Programmer for Java 2 Platform certification exam.
