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” course series provides a thorough introduction for programmers without object-oriented experience, such as COBOL or PL/I programmers. Part 2 continues part 1 and introduces further fundamentals and concepts of Java and the Java platform.
Course objectives
After this course, participants can develop Java applications and evaluate the associated architectures.
