Professional Academy Diploma in Java Computer Programming

The aim of this course is to introduce you to the concepts of Java object-oriented programming.  It extends prior knowledge of the principles of data structures and application design and furthers technical competence in implementing various computational artefacts.

Ireland’s reputation as a centre of Software excellence is unrivalled in Europe. It is home to over 900 Software companies, including both multinational and indigenous firms, employing 24,000 people and generating €16 billion of exports annually.

You will gain practical skills in Java using the programming language and it will equip you to have the skills and knowledge to tackle complex programming problems, making good use of the object-oriented programming paradigm to simplify the design and implementation process.

What will I study?

Live expert-led Java Programming training including the following:  Master java programming for beginners, java programming skills development, java problem-solving skills, real-world java applications, java control structures, java methods and arrays, java string manipulation, java file-handling, basic object-oriented principles in java, advanced java features, java working with databases, java deployment, java collections framework, java internal and external libraries, java testing and debugging, java error handling and java unit testing.  You will be introduced to a number of fundamental data structures and program designs and their applications in software development.  You will develop the skills required to work effectively using Object-Oriented Programming in Java

You will gain a solid theoretical understanding of, as well as practical skills in, object-oriented programming.
