TARGET AUDIENCE:
This is a basic-level programming course designed for attendees with prior development experience in another language, such as COBOL, 4GL, Mainframe or other non-object oriented languages. This course is not geared for non-developers.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
This "skills-centric" course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, designed to train attendees in core OO coding and Java development skills, coupling the most current, effective techniques with the soundest industry practices. Our engaging instructors and mentors are highly experienced practitioners who bring years of current "on-the-job" experience into every classroom.
Working within in a hands-on learning environment, guided by our expert team, attendees will learn to:
- Understand what OO programming is and what the advantages of OO are in today's world
