Opleiding: Java SE advanced course (EN/NL/FR)

During this training, we will dive deeper in the Java programming language. In this three-day ABIS course, we will study some of the most used Java SE libraries in more detail. In order to create more complete applications, an introduction into JUnit testing and logging will be given.

In this course:

• the participant will deepen his knowledge of the Java programming language to build well structured applications
• we will focus on topics like String handling and formatting, i18n, NIO2, functional programming, logging, testing, generics and multithreading

Intended for

Developers who are going to use Java to build well structured applications on a Java SE platform.

Backgroud

Participants should be familiar (at least 3 months of practice) with the basic Java SE environment (see course Java programming).
