Course: 516     Type: Hands-On Training     Duration: 4 Days

Quick Enroll    

You Will Learn How To
  • Apply Java best practices to increase productivity and build fast, secure and reliable applications
  • Automate deploying, testing and detecting bugs in software applications
  • Solve architectural problems with proven design patterns and advanced language features
  • Maximize software performance
  • Improve the reliability of threaded applications
  • Code securely in Java and authenticate with industry-standard security frameworks

Course Benefits
Java provides features to build robust, secure and responsive applications. Knowledge of the language and APIs alone is not enough to exploit the full power of Java. Developers must take advantage of proven best practices and industry-standard software development techniques. This course provides the skills needed to solve real-world software development problems and deliver fast, reliable applications.

Who Should Attend
Developers, architects and anyone involved in Java projects who wants to expand their Java programming skills. Real-world knowledge of Java at the level of Course 471, "Java Programming Comprehensive Introduction," is assumed.

Hands-On Training
You apply industry-standard best practices and gain experience using advanced APIs and language features. Exercises include:
  • Improving testability by creating a class in tandem with its unit test
  • Implementing key object-oriented design patterns for extensibility and maintainability
  • Optimizing software performance by reordering loops and reducing database calls
  • Invoking dynamic business rules with scripting
  • Enforcing security constraints
