New Advanced Java Course from Object Innovations

May 10, 2005. Object Innovations today releases its Course 106, "Advanced Java Programming." Students with solid intermediate Java experience -- especially those who've completed OI's flagship Java programming Course 103 -- will find a bounty of new knowledge and skills here, from multi-threading and sockets coding to GUI development with JFC and database programming with JDBC.

The course also goes beyond the ordinary practice of simply gathering together a handful of advanced topics. Rather, the course challenges students to consider the issues of multi-tier architecture, and presents most of its topics according to this theme. Thus, after an initial module including fundamentals such as threading and object serialization, the course proceeds from "front to back," addressing the needs of presentation, business, and persistence tiers from the J2SE perspective:

Though J2EE is the better-known and more powerful platform for multi-tier development, this course shows students that J2SE is fully capable of supporting enterprise applications, especially where the complexity of J2EE development is seen as a problem. And of course JFC, RMI, and JDBC are useful for other purposes; through this course, students get excellent exposure to all three.

With this release, OI completes its reorganized Java curriculum, which offers different multi-week tracks for students of various backgrounds. Students can enter this course from OI's own intermediate materials or from their own Java experience or other training.

Shipments of Course 106 begin immediately.

Note: with the release of "Advanced Java Programming," Object Innovations will be de-listing Course 111, which covers Java RMI. This entire course has been absorbed by Course 106. Anyone interested in delivering only this RMI content can still order Course 111 for a limited time, and then it can easily be provided as a single module on a custom basis.
