Java has established itself as one of the most important object-oriented languages, particularly in web programming. Alongside the language, the Java platform supports developers in many areas with extensive class libraries, frameworks and architectures. Our “Java for COBOL or PL/I programmers” seminar series provides a thorough introduction to Java for programmers without object-oriented experience. This first course introduces Java language fundamentals and lays the groundwork for part 2.
