1 Course Title: Java Technologies Grades: Prepared by: Rob Case Course Unit: What is Java? Learn about the history of Java. Learn about compilation & Syntax. Discuss the principles of Java. Discuss choosing a development environment. Description Overview: Course Unit: Installing the Software Install Java on Windows. Install Eclipse on Windows. Course Unit: Getting Started Create first application. Explore the Eclipse IDE. Compile and run from command line. Pass arguments to the application. Use the Java API documentation. Learn memory management & garbage collection. Students will learn how to program using Java constructs while interacting with the Java programming interface. Java is an Object Oriented Programming language that is a platform independent language. Eclipse, Android Development Tools bundle (ADT bundle) with Eclipse, and the Java Developer's Kit (JDK) will be used as the primary programming interfaces. Students will learn the concept of Object-Oriented Programming model (OOP). Java enables the programmer to create a variety of stand-alone and online applications such as, online games, video, audio, chat environments, web environments, and mobile device development. All of which have the capability of working on any operating system when loading the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or exporting as an Android-based application. of emerging technologies for educational and personal success. using sophisticated design and appropriate develop logical thinking and problem solving to solve a problem. new technologies.
