Java is a widely used cross platform language with many classes available which makes it easy to implement almost any feature or functionality you can imagine. Java has the development tools you need available for free, such as IntelliJ and Eclipse which are powerful, easy to use, integrated development environments (IDE). This course includes exercises using some or all of those tools.

Who is this for:

  • Test Analysts
  • Test Engineers
  • Developers

Course Objectives

By the end of the course attendees, through instructor-led online presentations and exercises, will be able to:
  • Use Java programming language constructs to create a Java application
  • Use decision and looping constructs and methods to dictate program flow
  • Understand basic object-oriented concepts such as inheritance, encapsulation, and abstraction
  • Use and manipulate object references, and write simple error handling code
  • Use the SE 8 java.time and java.time.format package to format and print the local date and time
