Course Description
Course Objective: You will work with advanced features of Java.
Target Student: This course is intended for individuals who are Java SE 6 programmers
and have worked with databases and with object-oriented programming techniques,
who are now ready to create more complex and advanced programs using Java
SE 6. It will also benefit students who are preparing for the Oracle Certified
Professional, Java SE 6 Programmer examination.
Prerequisites: Students should be skilled and experienced in using Java
SE 6. They should have knowledge of database structures and terminology. Also,
they should be familiar with object-oriented programming. To ensure your success,
we recommend you first take the Element K courses or have equivalent knowledge.
