Course Overview

New to Java and need to get a handle on JEE 7 basics? Need to learn Java, without the GUI and Swing? This five-day, comprehensive hands-on training course will teach you essential Java programming skills, in preparation for building server-side applications on the JEE platform. This is a five-day, comprehensive hands-on workshop geared for developers who have prior working knowledge of object-oriented programming languages such as C++. This course is geared for software developers who need to understand what JEE is, what it means in terms of today's systems and architectures, and how to apply JEE technologies and practices in implementing and deploying robust, flexible web applications. In addition to the normal exercises that are liberally sprinkled throughout the course, there is a case study that covers the entire spectrum from use cases to object-oriented design to implemented classes. This case study supplements the course and can be used during and after the course as a reference and a tool for reviewing and practicing what was learned in class.

Students who attend Java Web Developer with Servlets, JSTL, XML, Web Services, Security & More will leave the course armed with the skills they require to develop solid object-oriented applications written in Java, using sound coding techniques and best coding practices, with a specific focus on server-side development.

Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) is a powerful platform for building web applications. The JEE platform offers all the advantages of developing in Java plus a comprehensive suite of server-side technologies. This course tells you what you need to know to design and build your own web applications. You'll learn the details of the key JEE technologies and how to leverage the strengths of each, with special focus on Servlets and JSPs.

At the same time, you'll be learning about the big picture of JEE and how to design web applications that are robust, efficient, secure, and maintainable. If you want to deliver an application on the web, you'll find this course essential.
