The Introduction to Java for Procedural Programmers training course provides students with the training they need to successfully migrate to the object oriented programming paradigm. In addition to covering everything in the Introduction to Core Java training, this course spends more time examining and understanding key object oriented concepts that many procedural programmers struggle with as they transition to the OOP paradigm.
The Introduction to Java for Procedural Programmers course prepares students to take the Sun Certified Java Associate exam.
