Course description

Java Programming 2 / Java Advanced Developer Course Overview.

Modern Java code extends well beyond object orientation and the associated principles. This hands-on course, delivered using Java 17, endeavours to provide a grounding in advanced topics including generics, functional programming, concurrency, annotations, reflection, and security (among others).

This course assumes you are familiar with the fundamentals of the Java language including object oriented principles, and that you can build simple applications. If not, you should consider our Java Programming 1 / Java Developer course instead.

Exercises and examples are used throughout the course to give practical hands-on experience with the techniques covered.

Who will the Course Benefit?

The Java Programming 2 / Java Advanced Developer course is aimed at existing Java developers who are seeking to build on their knowledge of the fundamentals so as to make full use of the language's advanced features.

Course Objectives

This course aims to provide the delegate with the skills needed to build and/or maintain Java applications that exploit advanced features. It also serves as good preparation for developers seeking to contribute to enterprise level applications built with Java EE/Jakarta EE/Spring or similar.
