X436.2 (2 semester units in EECS)

An elective in the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Information Systems and Management

Java’s platform independence (write once, run anywhere) allows the same code to run on Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, mobile phones and supercomputers. Java is popular for enterprise applications that run on Web servers. This high-level language enhances productivity and reduces bugs through automatic memory management and strong typing. Using the free Java Development Kit (JDK 6 SE), you learn practical fundamentals of the Java programming language, as well as basic object-oriented programming so that you can write simple applications and take intermediate courses in Java.

Prerequisites: First Course in Java X429.9, C++ Programming I X412.1 or equivalent, and some experience with object-oriented design and techniques. Familiarity with building graphical user interfaces is helpful.
