Java Training Courses

The course covers the basics of Java development.

It introduces students to Java technology and teaches them basic Java syntax and concepts, leading to the creation of a simple program. Training goes through the essential concepts and features of the Java Programming Language, focusing on exceptions, basic input/output, concurrency, regular expressions, Java collections framework and the platform environment. The course finishes when all basic Java features have been explained and trained.

This 4-day course is for programmers who already know the Java language and wish to exploit the Enterprise Java Beans 2.0 technology while becoming aware of the security implications of distributing applications. This course has a large practical component which includes developing an e-commerce application based on Enterprise Java Beans. The course uses the JBoss Application Server.

This course teaches the practical use of Hibernate for persisting Java objects in a relational database.

The course is intended for Java programmers who want to produce efficient applications. After consultation with client, the course can be conducted in a special tool version, for people who only need to detect performance problems (testers, administrators) - in this case programming in Java is not required.

During the training, participants will learn about process and modern tools for producing efficient software in Java. They learn performance-related traps, benchmarking, profiling, tuning, memory analysis, performance tricks using collections or IO. Learned topics and tools are applicable regardless of the technologies used in the project, because we focus on language-level performance, tools and embedded libraries. Tuning discusses parameters of JVM provided by Oracle.

This course deals with developing MVC (Model-View-Controller) web application using the features of Struts2 framework. The participants will learn how to work with the actions and the data, how to develop interceptors and the OGNL for type conversion. This course will also cover concepts like validation, internationalization and how to persist data.

Applications for the Android platform are developed primarily in Java. This course was developed for software programmers with a strong OOP background (whether in PHP, Scala, C++, C# or Objective C) that plan to learn how to develop Java applications for the android platform. This course covers the Java programming language grammar and focuses on those specific Java capabilities the android platform uses more than others.

• Technical lead profiles: Integrating Maven as a build tool will have significant impact on the project: 
  • Managing dependencies will become easy (Maven dependency management)
  • Complex builds will be significantly simplified (Maven build profiles)
  • The project architecture will be managed smoothly (inheritance and multimodule projects)
  • ….
• Project Managers: Maven will enforce standardization and collaboration:
  • “Project Object Model” is the standard Maven introduces for projects
  • Maven uses build lifecycles for developers to compile , test and report, deploy
  • Maven repositories will act as a common store and gather releases and third party libraries
  • ….
• Release Managers: Maven repository managers will act as highly configurable proxies between your organization and public Maven repositories they also provide an organization with a deployment destination for your builds.

This training outline is intended to bring attendees from a beginner to an intermediate/advanced level in the understanding and knowledge of the Akka framework.

The entire course is hands on, mostly driven by the trainer in the beginning and progressively shifting towards the attendees producing code themselves (and downloading implementations/solutions written by the trainer).

Attendees are not expected to have prior knowledge of Scala, the trainer will take the necessary time to explain and clarify all the intricacies that relate to the Scala code used.

Beyond a solid knowledge in using Java components, even for experienced Java programmers it is essential to have a deep knowledge in web-related vulnerabilities both on server and client side, the different vulnerabilities that are relevant for web applications written in Java, and the consequences of the various risks.

General web-based vulnerabilities are demonstrated through presenting the relevant attacks, while the recommended coding techniques and mitigation methods are explained in the context of Java with the most important aim to avoid the associated problems. In addition, a special focus is given to client-side security tackling security issues of JavaScript, Ajax and HTML5.

The course introduces security components of Standard Java Edition, which is preceded with the foundations of cryptography, providing a common baseline for understanding the purpose and the operation of the applicable components. Security issues of Java Enterprise Edition are presented through various exercises explaining both declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE.

Finally, the course explains the most frequent and severe programming flaws of the Java language and platform. Besides the typical bugs committed by Java programmers, the introduced security vulnerabilities cover both language-specific issues and problems stemming from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and the relevant attacks are demonstrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by the recommended coding guidelines and the possible mitigation techniques.

Spring Boot is a Java-based web application development framework that favors convention over configuration. Spring Boot allows developers to create stand-alone, production-grade applications that "just run", typically on an embedded instance of Tomcat, Jetty, or Undertow.

Spring Boot's "opinionated view" of the Spring platform and third-party libraries allows for minimum-fuss application development that requires very little configuration. These Spring Boot applications require no code generation or XML configuration. They feature integrated health monitoring, simplified Maven configuration, and a host of other features that make building, deploying, and running Spring applications relatively straightforward.

In this training, participants learn the key features and architecture of Spring Boot, and its relationship to the underlying Spring framework. Ample opportunities for applying this knowledge and receiving feedback is provided by the instructor as participants step through live, hands-on exercises on defining, configuring and deploying Spring applications. By the end of the course participants will have the necessary knowledge and practice to rapidly deploy their own Spring application.
