Need to program in Java? This course will teach you how.

You'll learn object-oriented techniques, how to use the compiler and class libraries, how to handle exceptions, and, by the end of the second day, how to build applets.

With no fluff, theory, or history, this course gets your hands-on right away. It focuses on the practical knowledge and survival skills you need to get useful work done in the real world. It covers the essentials at an accelerated pace so you can get back to your desk as quickly as possible.

web-based class http://www.keller.com/java 2 Emphasis on practical skills Hands-on Instructor-led Classroom-based Printed workbooks On-screen (web) materials This course is for you if you're a programmer and you want to add Java to your repertory of languages. You should already have some programming experience. Experience with any C-like programming language (C, Perl, Pascal, Ada, Algol, C++, etc.) Familiarity with programming concepts (variables, loops, statements, strings, arrays) General computing concepts (compilers, operating systems, text editors) Experience with a command-line user interface (Unix shell, DOS, VMS, etc.) Classes in these packages are discussed: java.io,java.util, java.math, java.awt, java.applet, java.lang, java.text &obj;

The course consists of ten chapters, each culminating in an in-depth hands-on lab. In the lab, you are given a complete -- or nearly complete -- working Java program that you modify or adapt in order to apply the principles discussed in the chapter. Thus, without having to do a lot of typing, you demonstrate that you have grasped and can use the concepts and techniques presented in the course.

The language features presented are independent for the version of the Java Development Kit (JDK). So this course is appropriate both for JDK 1.1 and 1.2.
