Sun Java Standard Edition 6 Developer Library - Self-Study Course

The Sun Standard Edition Developer Library is comprised of four self-paced CD-ROM courses

The Fundamentals of the Java Programming Language SSCD course is intended for students with little or no programming experience and provides an excellent introduction to programming with the Java programming language. The Fundamentals course teaches the significance of object-oriented programming, the keywords and constructs of the Java programming language, and the steps required to create simple Java technology programs

The Java Programming Language SSCD course provides students with information about the language syntax; implementing the object-oriented programming constructs of the Java programming language; creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs), handling exceptions, file input/output (I/O), and threads; and networking

The Developing Applications for the Java SE Platform SSCD course provides students with practical experience in designing a vertical solution for a distributed, multi-tier application. Students use graphical user interface (GUI) design principles and network communications capabilities to code a functional Java application that interacts with a networked database server

The J2EE Platform Overview for Managers SSCD course provides students with the key concepts and technical insights necessary to manage or proscribe distributed application development with the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition

Students who can benefit from this course:

• Students interested in learning to develop Java desktop applications with the Java Standard Edition (SE) platform
• Students preparing for the Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 5/SE 6, Oracle Certified Professional, Java SE 6 Programmer and Oracle Certified Master, Java SE6 Developer exams
