ED400: Java Development using Eclipse-based Tools
Description
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Java programming using an Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE). As such students will learn how to effectively utilize the IDE as a development team in building object-oriented applications. You will understand the paradigm of the IDE, how to use the IDE to develop Java objects, how to manage code stream on development teams, and how to properly structure your team development process. In addition, we focus on best practice principles for an organization adopting this tool.
Duration
3 days
Audience
This course is intended for Java programmers who want to gain an in-depth understanding of how to use Eclipse-based tools to develop applications.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
  • Navigate the IDE user-interface (workbench, perspectives, views & editors)
  • Define and manipulate Java resources (Projects, Packages, Types & Methods)
  • Execute, test and debug Java programs from within the IDE
  • Utilize the productivity tools within the IDE
  • Utilize the configuration management capabilities of the IDE as an individual or as part of a team
  • Customize the development environment to their specific needs
(Details)
Prerequisites
Participants should have already taken Introduction to Java (ED110) and Introduction to Object-oriented Analysis & Design (ED100/105) or have an equivalent knowledge of Java programming and Object-oriented analysis & design. Practical experience as a professional Java programmer is a plus.
