Course Description
This course aims to raise the skill level of delegates in the Java Environment.
During development , Business’ often meet the same problems again and again:
- How to capture Business rules , in a way that both the Business users and the computer can understand.
- How to capture the flow of actions in a system, in a way that both Business users and the computer can understand. This flow is across multiple users, and may extend over days or weeks.
- How to deliver a system to the user (e.g. Via the Web), but to give the user a rich interface , similar to what they are used to on the desktop.
- How to maintain and enhance older systems , now that Java has been mainstream for more than years.
- How to take advantage of the new Features afforded by Java 5 and EJB 3, and what business problems to the solve.
- How to build components for reuse in all environments (Web , Enterprise, Command Line and Desktop).
- How to map information in a Java System to and from a Database (Persistent Storage or Legacy System).
- How to deliver value to the business at every point in the project.
- How to use the many resources and solutions already available in the Java community.
The course will look at how these problems are normally resolved. It will then describe ’Advanced ’ Java alternatives., show how to use them, and examine why these techniques may be easier , better , more flexible or more efficient than their traditional alternatives.
The course will not explore ’basics’ of the Java Language (e.g. Syntax , Object Orientated Programming , or Basic Class libraries), but will pause to explain particular areas if it is beneficial to the class as a whole.
