This course provides hands-on Java 8 training for developers who have little or no prior working knowledge of object-oriented programming languages such as C, COBOL, and 4GL. You will gain the best practices for writing great object-oriented programs, using sound development techniques, new improved features for better performance, and new capabilities for addressing rapid application development. Special emphasis is placed on object oriented concepts and best practices. In addition, you will explore new features in Java 9 and Java 10, including the Java Modular System and Local Variable Type Inference. You will leave this course able to participate in projects that are still on Java 8, while also ready to move onto projects using Java 10

Learning Objectives

This skills-centric course is about 50% hands-on lab and 50% lecture, designed to train attendees in core OO coding and Java development skills, coupling the most current, effective techniques with the soundest industry practices. Our engaging instructors and mentors are highly experienced practitioners who bring years of current "on-the-job" experience into every classroom.
Working in a hands-on learning environment, guided by our expert team, attendees will learn to:
Understand what OO programming is and what the advantages of OO are in today's world
Work with objects, classes, and OO implementations
Understand the basic concepts of OO such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction
Understand not only the fundamentals of the Java language, but also its importance, uses, strengths and weaknesses
Understand the basics of the Java language and how?it relates to OO programming and the Object Model
Learn to use Java exception handling
Understand and use classes, inheritance and polymorphism
Understand and use collections, generics, autoboxing, and enumerations
Become familiar with the concept of functional programming using Lambda Expressions
Process large amounts of data using the Stream API introduced in Java 8
