The Effective Java Programming training course uses collaborative discussions and hands-on labs to examine Java development best-practices, Java design patterns, object-oriented design patterns, and other principles outlined in the Effective Java book. The Effective Java course also covers coding standards, documentation standards, and best practices in the Java Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). Last but not least, Effective Java Programming examines common SCM tools and practices to ensure project success.
Course Summary
Hands-on training is customized, instructor-led training with an in-depth presentation of a technology and its concepts, featuring such topics as Java, OOAD, and Open Source.
Workshops are instructor-led lab-intensives focused on the practical application of technologies through the facilitation of a project-related lab. Workshops are just the opposite of Seminars. They deliver the highest level of knowledge transfer of any format. Think wide (breadth) and deep (depth).
