Course Overview:
This course uses a combination of instructor lectures, computer demonstrations and interactive handson lab simulations to illustrate the major parts of the course. Topics discussed include; comparing the .NET framework to the J2EE environment, comparing the common language runtime (CLR) with the J2EE runtime. We will discuss the .NET framework class library structure and compare it to the J2EE class library structure. We will then look at some of the application development capabilities, ADO.NET and how it compares to the JDBC API access, messaging components and message based processing, static and dynamic pages using ASP.NET and compare it to Java Server Pages. We will then move on to learning more about the java environment and discussing the Eclipse IDE. We will spend time defining & declaring variables, talking about decision logic & looping, illustrating class definitions and java arrays. We will define inheritance, talk about the eclipse debugger, exception handling, database concepts, thread management, and wrap things up with a discussion on files and streams.
